$500 @5% yields $25 after 12 months. I can save up to $70 on my flight this year. That method works if savings rates stay high AND you can wait almost 3 years to fly. In addition, I get 2% back from my credit card anyways for this gift card purchase AND your always at the mercy of the airlines!

I mean, how often are you drawing those card benefits? Southwest scans your bags and you can track them via the app. So bag loss is pretty rare/corrected quickly.

Not saying you'll never use these card benefits, but through all my business and personal travels, I've had zero instances of needing any credit card travel benefits. When you account for the immediate 14% savings, the expected value of travel loss is less. So it's a better deal to "gamble" and gain a guaranteed 14% savings vs. the <1% chance of drawing a credit card travel insurance claim, which are pretty limited. You also subtract from the benefit the 14% savings here, further lowering the CC benefit.

When using these cards, you'll lose all your benefits and protections that your credit card might have.
You will be the mercy of Southwest decisions.
