which one should I choose? I fly SW a lot, but I'm thinking about switching to save up points for an international trip a few years from now. I probably fly 15-20x/year, all domestic.

Are you looking for b-class or just a free trip?

Probably just free. Taking whole family b-class would take most of my life.

You can't get a second shaphire bonus if you've gotten one in the last 48 month

Do I have to cancel the old card? Or just apply for the same one again?

It all depends on your home airport. If SLC then Delta is your best option.

It's all about when you want to fly and paying attention to deals.
