Southwest credit does not expire anymore
I purchased that deal too $429.99 on May 2nd. I called Costco just now and they mentioned that all those who purchased the Southwest gift cards before the further $10 price drop will automatically receive an email with a Costco gift card for the $10 per gift card that they can use in store or online !
PSA for families or those who book for multiple people: yes you can add the funds to your SW account by booking a refundable fare and cancelling, and those credits do not expire, as noted above.

HOWEVER, those credits can only be used on your own tickets now. I.e., in gift card form you could apply the GC to your entire family's tickets, but in flight credit form you can only apply amount to tickets in your own name.

Typically the gift cards won't expire.

No
You can't add to your southwest account

Only way to do that is, You can book a refundable fare and cancel the flight

Thanks for correcting me. I remember having credit in my Southwest account years ago so assumed we can add gift cards to Southwest account. Probably it was credit from flight cancellation. I will edit my post.

Is this worth doing? Or is there no point.

Not worth it because after a cancelled flight, those flight credits expire after a year, while if you left it as a gift card, that would never expire.

Edit: apparently flight credits no longer expire? Thanks saratkiran and scorpy

As of when? My friend's flight credits from a year ago just expired. If true, then that's way better to use the gift card and cancel the flight. Keeping the gift card unused runs the risk someone stealing your number and using/selling it.
