Saw this and decided I'd better hop on too and not delay since I can always get points back. I almost forgot to use my 15% off code, but fortunately I remembered partway through and obtained nonstop tix to MCO for 17,500 each way per ticket. That's fine because the plan this year is for the kids to pay their own way (except for room) so 70k points for DH and I isn't a big deal, but I recall I was able to fly the 6 of us last time for 88000 points TOTAL.
Now something else sad I found out yesterday, that SW stopped doing nonstops Des Moines to St. Louis. One son-in-law is from St. Louis and DD and SIL had been thinking they could just do the 1 hour flight on points once in a while for visits, now it will include a layover in Chicago
