How do Southwest credits work? Does it cover airfare?

Delta travel bank. The credit is good for a year.

I selected Delta for my credit. I purchased a Delta ticket for $238, using $50 in points and the remaining $188 on my Platinum. After a week or two the credit posted to my card and I canceled the flight. The refund was in the form of a Delta eCredit good for one year. I did this in December.

There is a thread on the flyer talk forum with more details and data points.

I normally buy half a ticket on points and taxes on the Amex. Recently I used a gift certificate to pay for half and the remaining on the Amex.

How do you not spend $200 a year on plane tickets or incidentals? If your travel spending is that low you should reconsider having a card that focuses on travel rewards

Doesn’t work for plane tickets

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?
