Positive/ negative thoughts on the Southwest credit card?

Do you exclusively fly southwest (either for business or personal)? Typically you’d want a airline credit card for an airline you almost exclusively so you can get points multiple ways (spend, flying, etc). However if you multiple airlines you’re probably better off with a standalone Chase card (freedom, CSP, or CSR) and transfer Chase points to Southwest when you need it (transfer 1:1 or book southwest through Chase - but you have to call. Southwest doesn’t appear on their online portal). You can also transfer to other airlines and hotels, but not all airlines and hotels are chase partners.

My husband and I have had the SW card for the last 6 years bc of companion pass and bonus points. Thus we haven’t paid for a single flight in the last 6 years. Using points on SW is a million times cheaper than other airlines like Delta. Plus you can cancel flights for free at any point before take off (including precovid).

I don't use my SW card nearly as much after getting an Amex Gold, but the perks basically cover the annual fee so I still keep it active. If you fly SW 1-2x a year I think it's worth it, especially if you're near a hub.

Hey 👋 is it advisable to invest in real estate / buying my first home with all the looming uncertainty with brexit ?

I bought a house last year from a senior couple and was locked into a senior exemption on my property taxes for the rest of the year. I just received my property tax bill for the new year and I'm still locked into the senior exemption. Can I be penalized in the future if I don't say anything and just keep paying my property taxes as is? I feel like it's the village that screwed up and that's on them. Thoughts??

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
