Southwest thinks they are slick. I found a flight for $163 yesterday. Came back today and it was the same price but had the strike through saying I saved 40%. Not mad but kinda decieving.

Not sure why the dates are different, but on the Southwest site, it says:

*Use promo code 40OFF by 6/15/23 for travel on select flights between 8/15-12/14/23.

If you apply it on the search page, it'll show the regular price with a line through it and the discounted price below. Doesn't apply to all flights though, even if the airports are on the list. For my return day, there is only one flight offered with the discount.
Thank you, I did see the line through the original price.

Anyone buy a southwest GC on Costco today? Bought three about 7 hours ago and still hasn't delivered (checked spam of course). Wondering if that AWS outage set them behind on issuing? Really hoping I haven't screwed myself buying these and not being able to book with them.

Is there a way to have them credit you form of payment instead of future flight credit?
Only if you purchased a refundable fare. Wanna Get Away is their non-refundable fare and you can only get it as flight credit.

Tried multiple destinations from DAL and LAX. With or without code, seeing same price.

Are you seeing a discounted price for a new booking when the code is applied?
it's only on select flights...not all flights or airports will apply. So you'd have to search around to see what's available.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get this promotion when booking with southwest through chase's ultimate rewards using points?
If you transfer the points to Southwest and then book it you can.

I also bought them earlier this morning and still haven't received them. I called them earlier and they said it is a known issue they are working on fixing for the southwest gift card transactions. That's all they were able to tell me. Also advised I wait 24 hours then to call back if I still haven't received them by then. They did offer to cancel the order if I didn't want to wait.

Dude, the amount of creepy UX engineering/psychological nudging that goes into manipulating consumers to buy shit online is kinda crazy.

I like to hack their subtle manipulations sometimes by browsing websites with a grayscale filter over my phone -- the bright red font colors typically used on those strike through price mark down labels are WAY less compelling when you can't see the color.

I don't know why SWA is using a coupon code now, although it is a good form of marketing.
SWA rarely uses coupon codes.

NOTE important: If you use an expired, non-valid coupon code, your payment will not go through!, unless you erase the darn code from the coupon box! SWA does not tell you this, but I learned that the hard way yesterday, using invalid, expired codes found on the internet, and my valid payment would not go through and I kept trying and I did not know why it would not go through until I figured it out myself. Arrgghhh.

I did go ahead and book a flight on June 13, 2023, for travel in Sept., 2023. NOTE to get the discount, you don't even have to use the coupon code, you just need to travel on the dates (and time of day; certain flights only) indicated on their LOW FARE CALENDAR.

You will get the discount if you fly Tues, Wed, or Sat., AND if you fly at the discounted time of day (if not sold out), as it is always cheaper to fly on Tues, Wed, Sat. and choosing the lowest fare on certain flights (not all flights) on the day in question. It is true, the discount was not on all flights for the day in question, just on certain flights during the day on Tues, Wed or Sat. .

For my itinerary, I got a flight for $244 roundtrip (including all taxes and fees), Sept., 2023, flying on Tuesday, roundtrip, from Oregon to Oklahoma, which is a really good price. And, my flight does not leave, both going and coming back, until 3:30pm, so I do not have to get up SUPER early for a flight (although those early flights certainly were available.

HOWEVER, I have gotten a lower price (although rarely), with NO coupon code, just looking at SWA Low Fare Calendar and as always flying on a Tues, Wed, or Sat. I have flown the same itinerary, when on sale and when not on sale for $199 roundtrip (very rare) and $180 roundtrip (super, super rare). The lowest fare is usually about $325 for my itinerary, flying Tues, Wed, or Sat., flying from Oregon to Oklahoma, roundtrip. All prices quoted above include all taxes and fees.

SWA has a sale about once a month, and the use of the coupon code is kind of a joke, as it is unnecessary, based on how SWA normally operates their sales, discounts.
