I was on the SW website and a banner popped up for this deal. It's good for 40% off select flights from Aug. 8- Nov 1, booked today through Thursday. Code - 40off

I booked seven flights ranging from NY to Miami to Cabo to Hawaii. Not every day works, but many do. Just need to play around with the dates and location. Or use the low fare calendar.

Terms:

The 40% promotion code savings is valid for one-way or round trip Wanna Get Away® and Wanna Get Away Plus® fares booked on Southwest.com from June 13 through June 15, 2023, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (the "Booking Period") and flown between Aug. 15 through Dec. 14, 2023, ("Travel Period"). Travel is blacked out from Nov. 16 through Nov. 27, 2023. The Promotion code savings are applied before government taxes and fees. Enter promotion code 40OFF in the Promo Code box when booking during the Booking Period. Seats and days are limited. If a Customer enters the promotion code 40OFF in the Promo Code box on Southwest.com or swabiz.com during the Booking Period, then while selecting your flights, savings in the base fare will be visible as a strike-through of the original fare on eligible flights. Discount availability may vary by destination, flight, and day of week, and won't be available on some flights that operate during very busy travel times and holiday periods. Please note that the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires advertised fares to include all government taxes and fees; however, this promotion applies to the base fare only.

The discount is valid on new reservations only. The discount will apply only for select flights booked within the Booking Period while supplies last for travel flown within the Travel Period. Changes made to the itinerary after purchase will eliminate qualifications for this promotion and will result in the forfeiture of any promotion code savings. The discount is only valid with the provided promotion code and is not combinable with other promotion codes or fares.

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.
costco has $500 in southwest gift cards for $449 right now to make ever better deal
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.

Saves me 3000 points on our pre-booked September itinerary.
Thanks for the headsup.

Yes, unless some people have it different, it seems OP is going off of the banner image on the website landing, but those dates seem to be incorrect or changed.

I'm also seeing the alternate dates that the above individuals are seeing. Nothing before that works, and there are some blackout dates as well.

Worked for me. Gave me $63 back in travel funds on a flight on Nov 6. That was outside the advertised date range.

Thanks OP!

Where do you enter the coupon code? I spent 15 minutes to look for it but couldn't find it anywhere?

It's where you enter your flight details to search for a flight. I was still seeing discounts without even entering in the promo code FWIW.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get this promotion when booking with southwest through chase's ultimate rewards using points?
