Pay with your Chase Southwest Credit Card to get the 50x points per $
Think I'll just buy a flight... can always cancel and spend over the year
I guess this is a safe purchase.

But as noted, the real value comes in not paying some taxes. So a $49 flight costs close to 3000 points, or over 1.6 cents per point.
More expensive flights are proportionately more points.
A $50 ticket has about $17 in taxes. I know because they suspended these taxes for 2020 due to Covid, and the new price showed up on my existing tickets.
Price two different tickets in points and cash and you will see the difference in the value of the points. This is the reason.

Your INCORRECT response was "Per card. Each card is only linked to one account."
In a lot of cases a SD will have both the business and the personal card. For this promo it is limited to a bonus of 5000 points per account. So I can do it on either my business card or my personal card but not both, so it is most definitely not "per card". Hope I explained it in a matter you can understand..
Edit: Apparently they do count so that's a good surprise.
In general, it's easy to get CP points, but hard to get A-list TQP. Guess they'd rather give away free seats than free Internet. 🤔
