Hello, New to boards here and do see several threads regarding Rapid Rewards bookings and cancellations and want to make sure that I understand this correctly. scenerio: I book 5 tickets for 5 people on same flight using RR points from my account . Something happens down the line and I need to cancel. All of those points are returned to my account (as if nothing was ever booked) for me to use at a later time for myself or anyone else with no penalty. Is this correct? If so, it seems like a "no risk" way to book air with SW. i.e - use as a tool and keep checking for cheaper fares then rebook if need be. Even better then using $$ to book, where that is returned as travel funds for one year from booking to use for the person it was booked for. Do I have this right? Mark

Hello, My first statement closed yesterday and I met the spending limit. I emailed Chase as to when I should expect to see the 50K bonus points in my Rapid Rewards account. Here's the response; Thank you for contacting Chase regarding your Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards® Credit Card I am pleased to share that you have met the required spend the 50,000 bonus will reflect on your May 25, 2017 statement. And post 30 days these points will be transferred to your Rapid Rewards membership number To view or redeem your reward points, please visit www.southwest.com or call Rapid Rewards Customer Service at 1-800-445-5764. We appreciate your business and thank you for being a Chase customer. So, is it most likely that I won't see then for awhile? My first statement only shows the amount or RR for purchases. I have found airfare that I want (price in $$ or points and times) and although I'd rather use the points for the tickets, I don't want to wait much longer just to have the price go up. May just pay cash for them if the RR bonus points aren't likely to show in my account for at least another month. Thanks, Mark
