Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

I feel like I'm cheating on SW....we've been flying with them only to/from MCO ever since we started going to Disney but for our November trip I found some fabulous non-stop flights with Delta.

Yes, I'll have to pay for the flights vs. using my points and CP and basically flying for free but since this is a short, 4 night trip for us and getting 2 non-stop flights that give us more time in the parks on our arrival and departure dates feel worth it to me!



I can't believe I just said that out loud!

haha - yeah I know the feeling as well, we have a trip next year to a location SW doesn't go and I find myself already stressing over my seat selections and other things. Dumb, I know! I guess having our main airport be a SW hub and having a fair bit of selection on flights and (usually) very good pricing, the ease of collecting points has spoiled us a bit.

yes!! and our SW check-in is in a separate terminal all by itself so its small, TSA is quick and easy to go through where as Delta is with every other airline - and that means longer lines and more people...

but SW has gotten rid of some of their earlier direct flights out of our airport and instead we fly from RDU up to BWI (where the closest SW hub is) and then back down to MCO...

and those flights leave at 6am and arrive at MCO at either 11:30 or 12:30pm - the Delta leaves at 8am and arrives just before 10am....and then with a direct flight home leaving MCO at 4:30pm!!

Im sure for the March trip to MCO we'll be back with SW!!!

BWI

BWI is our main airport! Actually pretty much smack in between both BWI & PHL but we find BWI has better flight times and tons more nostop options for our needs.

YES!! and it's a great flight that we've taken many, many times, and I feel pre-pandemic SW had more direct or earlier flights coming out of RDU but it hasn't been great the last 6 months - which I understand 100% and one day maybe they'll bring them back but for this upcoming flight..I'll just cheat on SW and go with Delta!

I fly out of BWI all the time too. So happy that we are always able to get nonstop flights to Orlando and to a lot of other places all the time.

BWI is our go-to airport, too. BWI and PHL are about the same distance for us, but we like BWI so much more. We find flight times and prices better at BWI.

too bad that doesn’t coincide with the flight release!

Looks like you can buy a gift card and get the points.

That’s my understanding as well after a quick read… i may purchase 2 GC, one on each mine & my husbands SW cards. Looks like I’ve started Christmas shopping early - I’ll give one each to the kids probably!

Can we purchase EBCI with this offer and earn the bonus points?

Flight release is the day before

but gift card is a good idea for use another time!

I am not sure if the June 11 credit card promo for 50X RR points is a targeted offer. It may be a good idea to check your email, before assuming that your account qualifies for the promo.

The T&C state:

This bonus offer is non-transferable and applies only to the account of the primary Cardmember referenced in this offer.

Question about purchasing flights with a gift card on SW. I seem to recall (but can’t remember where) that you can only use one gift card on each purchase of a flight. For instance, if the flight costs $100 and you have two $50 gift cards, you can only use one.
Am I correct in this?
I figure that if it’s not the case, I’ll buy gift cards on the eleventh.

Another question about the 50x points:
Do you know if renting a car through SW will count towards this as well?

The verbiage of the offer:

During the one-day promotional period of 6/11/2021 from 12:00:00 AM ET – 11:59 PM E.T. you will qualify and earn a total of 50 points for each $1 spent with any Rapid Rewards® Credit Card, on up to $100.00 in total purchases, made directly with Southwest Airlines®, including flight, inflight, Southwest® gift card, Rapid Rewards Points Center, and on Southwest Vacations® packages (“Qualifying Purchases”).

As often happens with these offers, it’s not very clear, IMO. It might be worth a call.

Keep in mind that the maximum spend subject to the 50X points only is $100, per card.

Doesn't seem like the June 11, 50x offer is a targeted offer. It's posted on their website, accessed by anyone, don't even have to login, and not just via a link in an email
