Southwest rewards points

When purchasing southwest flights it tells you on the page how many points you will get. $146 flight 736 rewards points. If purchasing with a SW card do ADDITIONALALLY get the 6x or whatever your multiplier is for another 876 points?
5

You'll get double the purchase price additional points. 146x2 = 292 bonus points.
You'd get 1028 total points. The 736 for the flight and the 292 points for using the Southwest branded CC.

Yes. They're independent of each other. You'd get the points for buying the flight regardless of how you purchased it.

Yes. At the airport as I type about to board a free Sourhwest flight.

On a separate but related note, is there an easy way I don't know about to obtain a printable receipt from those frickers for expense purposes?

Yes. Just ask a ticket counter agent or customer service person post security, not the boarding agent they won't have that info.
You can prob email Southwest requesting a receipt unless it was an onboard purchase.

sidebar question: Does anyone know if the miles you accumulate on the southwest card can be transferred to another credit card you intend to switch to... i.e. Chase Southwest Visa -> Chase Sapphire?

there's a massive thread on the Money Board about all things credit cards and rewards points just FYI

You should also get double rewards points if you are unlucky enough to get a flight with the flight attendants who make the flight their own personal "night at the Improv" comedy routine. Just shut the hell up and give me my Sprite and peanuts.

No you cannot as far as I know.
Now, if you have a Chase Sapphire PREFERRED, you can transfer to many different travel partners, of which SW is one of them. You can pretty much recoup the cost of the annual fee by buying a flight with a points transfer.
For example, a typical SW flight may cost $350 in cash or 20,000 points. If you were to transfer those 20k points from Chase Ultimate Rewards (equivalent to $200) you'd basically save $150, and cover that $95 annual fee in the savings from that one flight.

No, they cannot. Those southwest points are technically property of Southwest and have a dollar value in the airlines eyes. It appears on their financial reports.
The southwest CC points don't expire so that's nice, but the Sapphire points can be redeemed on a lot of airlines.

Yup, flew to Thailand and back in business class on Asiana, Thai, and United airlines using Chase UR points last month.
Nothing like having a lie flat bed and some nice South Korean girls making you sandwiches whenever you want.
