    Thursday to Monday.trips are perfect for me, my balls can't take much more work. However I remember with the aa card, you need a lot of purchases for a free trip compared to the spirit card.

    With my math phone, cable and car insurance and gas equates to 1 Dr, 1 ny, and one mde trip a year. I am not sure.I can get that with 10 grand of purchases with aa card. If so need to fire the spirit card as soon as I use the miles.

    With aa what I'm working on right now is 150k miles through two cards and two bonus offers of 75k each. Requirements are to spend 1500 on one card and 4000 on another.

    That's enough for a couple of flights tho its through card offers.

    Spirit has the lowest redemption rates I ever seen though and the off peak oones are insane. That's enough reason to get the card right there. If all I had to do is fly Monday through Thursday then that's reasonable too.

    Thanks for all the great spirit posts in here

    Not sure where you live and where you fly out of but jetblue amex is good too, I plan on using for 2 westchester flights and a sdq flight from fll. I used this card but switched to the spirit card since they approved me. $1 = 1 mile. I will keep the card only for the car rental insurance now and occasional westchester flight.

    Fll sdq costs around 12000 miles and is about $100, in taxes and includes luggage. If you don't have one, I think you get 15000, miles for signing up. Let me know I get 5000 for referals.

    I fly out of jfk or I could do newark or lga in ny.
    I recently divorced jetblue after I came to realize I could be treated a lot better elsewhere. I had the amex card but they cut me off...credit issues lol but it was when they had the old program which I loved.
    I was going to reapply when they had the 20k offer which usually happens around april or may every year.
    I like the spirit card with 2 miles per dollar. Another thing I didn't like about jetblue is you earn points. I need miles fuck points. 10k points is a one way flight even tho they advertise rt...that's a huge turn off.
    I rather deal with an airline expecting me to be flexible than one trying to fuck me into taking a bunch of trips and leeching off my dollars in exchange for points..
    Sorry jetblue makes me upset but props for getting the spirit one. That seems like a good deal for whoever is flexible enough to play with it

    Well fuck...you are old.

    But, I think your hard living and partying makes you look a lot older than what you are.

    I gotta admit though,flying into STI at 3 a.m. is a mother fucka no matter what it costs,especially when you know you have to do virtually the same thing at the end of your trip.I hate waiting for that flight back to Ft.Lauderdale.
    I just saw $9 fare to SD but to get it both ways it looks like you would have to stay there about 3 weeks.
