If you book Memphis to San Juan, how many points would you get per mile? (ie. are the promos stackable?)
I like how you think outside of the box! And honestly I’m not sure if they are stackable. The T&C doesn’t say otherwise.
Thanks for pointing this out. I considered going to Puerto Rico in January but instead I’m taking my extended family to Cancun. What drives me crazy is that the Southwest and Airtran programs aren’t completely connected yet for the international Caribbean destinations. So I have to deal with bag fees, $150 change fees, and other annoying Airtran policies that don’t exist with Southwest.
I love Cancun and yes I wish SW would fly there already! Hopefully they will fully integrate by next year but Jan would be too early. Word of caution about Cancun, everything is expensive! I went there recently and here are some tips http://first2board.com/giddyforpoints/saving-money-in-cancun/
Have fun! Where are you staying?
