About this deal:

Chase SW cards get 3x points, and points are worth 1.5 cents each, resulting in effective cash back of 4.5% using the Chase SW buying tix directly. This discount is 14% off, plus you can use a standard cash back card to earn an additional 1.5%+ rewards on your credit card.
So 15%+ discount with this deal vs 4.5% opportunity cost. It's a win.
Arguable you'd be better off using your Amex Plat than the Chase SW to buy airline tix at 5% cash back, as Amex points generally are worth about 1.5-2.0 cents per point, resulting in an effective cash back rate of 7.5-10.0% on flights.
Not anymore. They changed this last year. Now the funds will NEVER expire.
ProTip: Because this deal is on Costco.com, you can use MC or Discover or AE if you have CB or spend on those cards.

Normally, I skip using gift cards with Southwest and use points instead, it makes it easier to rebook as prices fall. However, now that swa never expires refunds, gift cards are back.
