I received this press release, which today announced a new partnership between Scorebig.com, a live event ticket website (which functions similarly to the Priceline Name-Your-Price model) and the frequent flyer program for Southwest Airlines, Rapid Rewards. Registered members will earn points for purchases, including an extra 1,000 points on the first transaction.
You might find this interesting, but will it be rewarding?

Is this new partnership something that will be rewarding for Southwest Airline’s frequent flyers?
A New York frequent flyer who elegantly combines her passions for worldwide travel, running a gazillion marathons all over the globe and staying fit ... without sacrificing her fancy for good wine and food.
I did a test booking for a Broadway show. It did not show the seats, only the section. Then contacted score big and they responded that you don’t get to see the exact seats. So a no go for me.
I have used ScoreBig to get United miles and love it. Found some deals on Baseball games last year.
Do I need another email address to link my WN account with Scorebig? I assume I can’t use the same email that I used to link to United.
interesting question, but I’d guess that you can’t link one scorebig account to more than one airline. If you can get around that, let me know how!
Every person is selling some thing. It may well be a product, a service, a download, an concept,
oor a worthy trigger.
