Hi all, thanks for the advice. Started chat with costco.com online. Got to them within a minute, told them if they could give me code for 50$ off $500. They provided me with one. Bought two Southwest cards and got a 50$ off. That gives me a 1000$ southwest gift card for 850$

Further, since I am executive, I get 2% back from costco and I also get 2% from my credit card company which gives 34$.

Final deal: $816 for a 1000$ southwest card.
That's a 22% deal. If I assumed index funds give me 10% every year, I better use up these southwest credits within 2 years for a good ROI on my upfront loading of credits. I think I will.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank INeverPayRetail

FYI - The nice thing about this gift card is that it is only one gift card number. Recently, I tried to use several gift cards ($50 each) to purchase a flight, but Southwest did not allow me to use more than 2 in a single transaction.

I agree they probably make back the 10% in unused funds. That's probably the premise behind all gift cards.

But I'm not sure what you mean by more options. Other airlines? Okay, true. Also a good premise.

But those of us that fly Southwest a lot don't have that worry. Plus I get better cash back here than buying tickets directly on my SW card. I don't need any more points.

I used to have SW, United, AA, AMEX Cards. I got sucked into that.With work and family its impossible. I do travel at least 4-6 times per year but I found that I was better off just getting a Cashback credit card and look for the cheapest flights when its time vs being locked into a carrier. Their flight times, pricing, airports etc. I am wide open and have my options of flight times, airports, etc...

But people like what they like and if you are loyal to SW, most definitely.

i don't think that's right. SW allows 3 gc per transaction; i've done so before.

edit: it even says under terms & conditions "a maximum of three (3)...per passenger on each reservation"

Lol I find this "gift card" from Airlines thing a little weird but probably a good idea for them since a lot of people will be wasting it.

For $50 savings, just buy the tickets when you need them so you have more options.
none of that made sense. i prefer sw over other airlines. why wouldn't i want 10% off? i'm not understanding any point you're trying to make??

The only issue I have with these is that I believe you can't fully pay for a flight with a gift card - some has to be money.

It just means having to stretch it out over more flights depending on where you're flying, but it's something to be aware.
Costco had a similar offer for Alaska Airlines gift card a few months ago. Added the gift card to my Alaska wallet and did not have to pay anything additional out of pocket.

I hear you. That makes a lot of sense for most folks.

I fly over 50 times a year. SW is on my main route,
at the best price, with free bags, free standby, free cancelation, and free companion pass. Not to mention I get any seat I want and in Burbank they deplane from the back.

For me, they make frequent flying worth it. But I've never been able to appreciate getting tied to any other airline. Their policies for frequent flyers are so much less beneficial IMHO. So much hassle just trying to use miles... no thanks.

So we agree.👍

Not true. You can pay for an entire flight with the GC.

Well, I bought my flight less than a month ago and Southwest didn't allow me to use a 3rd gift card. How recently did you make those reservations? Southwest has been making some changes as if late and maybe not just their flight times & connections. (Still bummed that they removed all non-stops from my city to my relative's)
