Same here, ordered 9 hours ago and still haven't received the GC yet. Only got the confirmation email and an email saying it's shipped to my address even though it says E-GiftCard in the product description!
Just bought 4 last week for $450 each and they arrived via email within an hour. No physical gift cards in the mail only via email.
Does anyone know if there's a limit to how many giftcards you can use on the southwest website per order? I've been burned before buying a bunch of giftcards and only 1 or 2 can be used per order...
It's 3 per booking, so if you have a bunch, book everyone separately.
With these giftcards: If you buy a ticket, and then need to change your ticket, does the amount paid easily go back to your Southwest account as a credit for another ticket? Does it act just like as if you paid cash for the original ticket?
(I realize they won't credit money back to the credit card used to purchase the original ticket; just want to make sure it's no more difficult to change a Southwest ticket bought with a gift card, compared to a credit card. Want to purchase for someone whose Southwest flights end up being changed quite frequently.)

It stays as credit for a booking if you cancel. Next time you book you will need to use the original booking confirmation number to use it, it's attached to the original booking.

Yes, just goes back on your Southwest account as a flight credit, and they no longer expire.
