Here is my plans to make purchasing airfare just a tad less painful!!
First off we got approved for this credit card:
(Which will most likely get us at least 1round trips worth of points by using!)
(Which will most likely get us at least 1round trips worth of points by using!)
I plan on purchasing a bunch of Southwest gift cards from Target with our:
Giving us 5% off!
Shopping for airfare through
This will earn us lots of
Which I will turn into Amazon e-gift cards!!
And then payoff the bill with the Southwest gift cards that I bought from Target!!
I also plan on buying Disney gift cards to help payoff some of the bill.
Wish I had known about this earlier.
I've already payed off a large chunk of our bill.
Oh well- next time!! :)
Oh- please pray that our airfare either stays at the price it is at now or goes lower by the time we get our credit card in the mail.
Update: After posting this I was thinking- can you actually pay credit card bills with gift cards????
I don't think you can.
So now I have to decide which deal will be best for us.
Do I want to try and get the free round trip airfare or save some money buy buying and paying for airfare with gift cards!?!?!
I'm thinking the free airfare is the best bet?
Another update:
Damn it! I forgot to shop through my Swagbucks. :(
I'm so pissed at myself.
I was trying to do it quickly before my daughter got up.
She is on snoopy little devil!!!
Oh, well.
I have to just get over it.
Either way- it is OFFICIAL!!!
We have airfare.
Oh- and NO you can not pay your Southwest Credit Card with gift cards. :)
I kind of assumed that- but you never know unless you ask!!
Same with paying for our Disney part of the trip.
Since I've already charged it to a credit card I won't be able to pay it off with gift cards, but I can still use the gift cards to pay for souvenirs and at some restaurants!
That will help save some money.
But now I know for NEXT TIME! to do this to save money.
With all this new info I've learned I'll have to start planning for our next Disney trip!!
Which is actually already in the works.
We are planning on a Summer 2014 back to Disneyland.
My best friend and her family are moving to California next Spring
so visiting them will be part of our trip as well.
I really need to get moving on getting things made to sell on my Etsy store!!
This Disney FAMILY addiction is expensive- but OH so fun and worth it!
We have people tell us all the time they are going to be part of our family so they can go to Disney!
I don't think you can.
