Always a good reminder. Best to pay $420-$430, but $450 is better than $500.

Buy a trip and cancel it if you wish to convert the GC into flight credits that can't be lost.

Does the GC expire or by "lost" do you literally mean lose track of the GC info?

Does anyone know if this is available in the B&M store for a physical gift card? I'd like to buy one as a gift for someone and would rather have the physical card.

Hurry up and use it before they start charging you for bags, seats, snacks...and before they start cutting service to ATL (if that affects you). More cities to come, inevitably.

Elliott Capital can eat a complimentary bag of....pretzels.

The gift cards do not expire. Yes, you can get the physical gift cards in the store. And, there are absolutely zero restrictions on using the gift cards. I buy them very often at the $429.99 deal that Costco does.

so those asking when the $429.99 deal gonna come back, probably not till black friday season and it might even go lower than that. historically.

however, like i said in my first sentence, in the first post, "this is not the best deal ever" but those who are doing the companion pass promo and need to book revenue tickets for travel january 6 - march 6, 2025, get this deal.

important note: like someone else said, once you get the code, book a flight using the egc. when you cancel, it will appear in your acct as flight credits. flight credits are non-transferable on "wanna getaway" fares but they are transferable to someone else if you book the higher tier fare-type. i hope that makes sense.

I considered deals like these no brainers in the past, but with the increases in SW's pricing lately, I no longer feel that way. And I'm lucky because I no longer work and have maximum flexibility when choosing flights. Even so, I'm finding I can find better prices on the other full service carriers often taking into account bag fees and "sale" prices. I'd be worried about having invested in SW credits for flights I could have gotten cheaper even with the gc discount.

I personally will wait for Black Friday and hope they do the $400 deal they did last year. Other than that, I won't buy Southwest gc's unless I already have a flight(s) in mind. Just my opinion.

This is the way to do it right now. They've been running a lot of deals on these, which makes it less risky.

The latter. A gift card or voucher can be used by anyone, and isn't locked to your account. So yeah…you can lose it or forget about it.

But flight credits are tracked under your RR account, so can't be lost, or stolen, or whatever.

You can use them to buy your own ticket, or transferred to another (if you buy a fare other than the cheapest)

If I buy a $500 gift card, can I use $250 for my ticket and $250 for my wife's ticket if we are traveling together? Both for Wanna Get Away?

You can use it any way you want. It can be used for many individual flights and even canceled back to flight credit

What they mean is as long as the gift card is active, there is a chance the funds will be used by someone else. That's not to say that SW gift cards have more issues than others, it's just a fact with gift cards.

With SW you can use the gc to of course buy a ticket. SW allows free cancellations and the credits go to your SW account with an entirely new code. This is a way to transfer the funds from the gc directly to your account as credits.

If you buy a WGA ticket and cancel, the new credits will be locked to your account and only usable by you. If you buy a WGA+ ticket and cancel, the new credits will be locked to your account with the option to use for someone else.

So buy ticket with full gc amount.
Cancel ticket.
Get gc funds transferred to your SW account as credits.

Your biggest decision will be: Are you going to use the full amount for yourself (WGA) or will it be split between multiple people (WGA+)?
