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.

Anyone know if you can buy points with the gift card and add them to your SW account?

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.
This is disinformation. You can completely pay for a flight with a gift card.

One way around the gift card and travel fund limitations is to book a flight with the maximum gift cards/travel funds it will allow then cancel it. You will receive travel funds under a single confirmation number. If you have more to combine just rinse and repeat.

Can we ask for multiple $50 off $500 codes and place 2 different orders for 2 giftcards? Or is the code applicable 1 time only?

That is correct. The only time when you pay out of pocket is with miles or points. Even then, your out of pocket cost is like ~$6 each way.

Edit: Or maybe it was ~$7?

Thanks for sharing… in for 2. Currently between two cities so I fly one round trip on SW monthly for next 2 years. 10% off what I am already going to spend and 2% back executive rewards…. No brainer. Plus Houston to Chicago on sale for $98 RT right now.

That's not true. You can use gift card to pay for 100% of the flight fare and any fees (e.g. $5.60 9/11 fee). You don't need to use any cash/credit.

You cannot use your Rapid Rewards points to pay for 100% of the ticket - you have pay the fee with something else (e.g. gift card or credit card).

One thing to be away is that while Southwest has amazing cancellation policy (no fees up to 10 minutes prior to the flight), you won't get the balance back on the gift card if you paid with a gift card. You will get travel funds instead (good for 12 months). Other than that Southwest gift cards are awesome and a lot more convenient to use than many other airline gift cards (e.g. Delta is a major pain).

Seems like Costco chat is busy, here is what it's telling me:
You are currently number 34 in the queue. The estimated time a customer has to wait is 09:21. The average amount of time a customer has to wait is 09:35.
