First, I love Southwest. But to love Southwest you have to know how their pricing works.

Prices go up as more and more tickets are sold - one of several reasons.

Booking a trip to Disney in April. Bought tickets when they first came out in September for 18,000 points one way. The same exact ticket now costs 45,000 points one way. 20% off 45,000 is 36,000 points, which is twice the price I paid.

If you have to book last minute, 20% off is great. If you can plan way ahead, booking early is the best. Depending on the ticket level you buy, tickets are refundable. So if they really do go down in price or a promotion comes up, you can rebook.

op here. just so you all are aware, airfares have gone up 40% nearly tripling even in the last couple of weeks. my job looking for low airfares have been harder these days. you're not gonna see the low fares from several months ago much and i try my damn hardest to find them.

with this deal, you'll still save and with southwest, you get to cancel and get your points re-deposited if you cancel your travel plans.

Did they jack up the prices before releasing this promo code?

One other interesting benefit with points.

You don't pay some taxes on your flight. So the value of your points is slightly higher on short flights, where taxes are a higher percentage of the total fare.

So it pays more to use them on cheap fares...as long as you don't need the tier qualifying credits.

only by 19% so you still save 1%!
It would actually be 5% savings in that case! Math is neat

This is a really good deal. Southwest almost never offered promo codes. Employees topically get 2-4 of these per year and I've never seen 20% given to anyone with points over the past ten years. Thanks for sharing!

Not a bad deal at all. Booked a weekend trip to Tampa for 21k points for the end of the month. This was already the cheapest option among United/American and this saved me an additional 20% in points.

Booked a couple non-stop one ways with points and the code worked for both.

The screen where you enter the code is the same one where you select the cities and dates of travel..

Coincidentally, a flight I booked about a week ago with points is about 20% more expensive now that this sale is on.

There are some 1 hour flights for me that would take 8-10 hours to drive. When you live around water, flying is a huge time saver.
