Use Chase 5% CB for this quarter (wholesale clubs) to sweeten the deal even further

Buy any Wanna Get Away Plus tier ticket, pay with gift card(s), then cancel ticket for refund to account as flight credit.

But why? It's probably easiest to keep track of one gift card that can be used for anyone, rather than have Southwest cancel credit( travel funds) tied to one person, and additionally saving all the cancelled confirmation numbers. Southwest does not have any easy way to look up your total accumulated flight funds in one location under your account.

Incorrect. The app shows all of the accumulated flight credits. Yes, you have to transfer them to another if applicable, but there's no way to lose the card info or otherwise keep it safe. Once the travel funds are in your account, that info can never be lost.

ohh man, I purchased 2 GC's last night for $900.
Called Costco online customer service number, provided them with the online order number and they refunded $20 back to my original payment right away.

You can buy more than 2, but anything over will be at $450, not $430

Quote from dirtpeople :
If your dates are restricted you get what you get and many deal threads are pointless for those flyers, other than to come in and fuss over nothing being available for their specific dates.
I came to ask a few questions, not to "fuss over nothing". I stated I didn't fly much due to where I was living and now have the opportunity to, so was wondering why SW was popular when doing basic searches shows they are more expensive to most place from where I will be traveling from. To say all this while also going "that's not the flight I would take to Hawaii cause it doesn't meet my standards" is pretty ironic.

I said thanks, but if you don't want to help without being rude, then don't help!

The statement was made in the general sense to many SW posts on this site, not to you personally. If I wanted to specify you in the personal sense, I would've continued with you/your, not "those flyers." So please forgive my sentence structure. If you didn't find my post helpful, so be it.

Gift cards can never expire, unless the company goes out of business. There was a law about that.
