Pay with your Chase Southwest Credit Card to get the 50x points per $
Giftcards qualify. Buy a $100 gift card, get 5000 points (worth ~$50, maybe more). I'm in.
Good catch. But any risk of the transaction date falling outside the window (Friday)?

Think I'll just buy a flight... can always cancel and spend over the year

I guess this is a safe purchase.

Just purchased a gift card but didn't see anything about bonus points. I'm guessing it'll take awhile to show up. But this seems like a crazy good promotion.
I think i read some where else in this thread that it can take up to 2 months to get the points.

Definitely a gift card.

Points are worth around 1.5 cents each, so it would around a $52.50 value for that.

I don't suggest it
But cost aside, aren't points more flexible? What happens if I cancel/reschedule a flight booked with a gc? Does it come back as a travel voucher good for a year?

Yes, that is exactly what happens. Then even if you fail to use it in that year, you can typically call them and they'll extend it 6 more months. I've done it once or twice, but YMMV on that one.

This is great. My wife and I both have separate cards and separate accounts so we were able to double dip. Fantastic!

I did not receive an email and I just bought a GC and there was no indication of any bonus reward points. I'll call them later this morning.
Sometimes you have to wait till the purchase posts.
I use the Chase app. If you go to a recent transaction and then click on that and scroll to the bottom of the transaction you can see how many points that specific purchase earned you.
You might keep an eye on that after the purchase goes past pending status.

Any way to do the companion pass thing these days using the current 65k point bonus offer for getting a new RR card?

So I forgot to log in my account before I buy gc. Does it matter? Do I still have the bonus as long as I used sw credit to buy gc?

Looked at flights yesterday, same flights today cost $35 more. Figured that would be the case but still annoying. Will probably just buy a gift card
