A couple things about their website and this promo:

1) they reversed the order of the ticket options. basic (least expensive used to be on the right), it's now on the left. If you're used to just power scanning the right-most column for the lowest price, you'll need to check the left column now.

2) promo DOES NOT include basic fares - but they still show up in the results. Be careful with what you purchase so that it qualifies.

That's because that's a confirmation page to start your booking...that should not be linked here and the original poster should update it.

They've just jacked all their prices up again and even the points difference between basic and wanna get away plus is twice as expensive as it was just a couple months ago,, at least at the flights I've looked at.

Hold the line. Don't fly with them until they restore their old policies like no layoffs, free bags, and no credit expiration

Note: Basic fares are not qualifying flights for this promotion.

They really did blow everything up at once. TBH I didn't fly with them much before because they were often higher in price, but now they're higher in price and suck.

But to comment on this deal, here's the full terms:

Register for this promotion, then book one qualifying round trip or two qualifying one-way Southwest® flights between 8:00 a.m. Central Time ("CT") on June 24, 2025 and 11:59 p.m. CT on June 27, 2025 (the "Promotion Period") for travel from June 24, 2025 to August 31, 2025 (the "Travel Period"), and fly during the Travel Period to earn a promotional Companion Pass® valid for use between September 8, 2025 and November 15, 2025. Basic fares are not qualifying flights for this promotion.

Good I guess for people who can take advantage of dancing around the dates, but a lot of hoops to jump through for me personally.

They've ran a version of this promo several times in the past and the details are all essentially the same. Though the biggest difference now is that it applies to their new pricing structure vs. what they had before which makes it less appealing.

Unfortunately I agree. Companies would rather go out of business than revert changes, never have been clear on why, though you could guess the old way wasn't sustainable for them either.

Good point to use the correct link to register. I saw the link in my e-mail, but it seems to be the same link you posted. Make sure are actually logged in and registeted before booking so it counts. Smilie

There was a similar offer from last time that offered the companion pass for eligible flights between August 7th - October 8th.

Wow... could have sworn them ending their 2 complimentary checked bags policy while also raising prices would have increased their bookings. How did this happen?

Term #3&4. So basically if you buy the cheapest flight you don't get your pass and even if you do managed to get your pass, you would have to buy at least another time (non-basic flight) to travel btw September 8th and November 15 (before the holiday season). So you essentially have to book 4 trips w premium price to get 2 trips free. Definitely a Slickdeal for Southwest.
