Sears 10 points per dollar via Southwest portal; 20X possible through double-dip
Most Likely Today Only: As found on today’s Frequent Miler’s Portal Alerts, Sears is offering 10 points per dollar through the Southwest Rapid Rewards Shopping Portal.

The advertised offer said that code RR57 was good until December 31, but it turns out that the code actually expired 11/30/2014. I will report back once a new, working code is found. Southwest Airlines has, in my opinion, the single best deal in the travel industry: earn 110,000 points in one calendar year and they’ll give you a Companion…
