We use a Southwest Visa Card as the Southwest Frequent Flyer Program is a good one and we use the airline regularly.

In the real world flight to England is approximately 3,000 miles. I just looked and found that the cost of a round trip ticket is about $1,300. That means I need 130,000 of their so called miles.
I've been with this credit card company for a little over a year. The reason I signed up with them is the air miles. Now when I go to use the MILES I find that they are not miles.
Do all these companies scam their customers like this?
