Pooch Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 SWA is offering 50 points per dollar on SWA purchases up to $100. If you know you are gonna book a flight, TODAY is the day to do it. One day only offer. I don’t have any flights to book currently but gift cards are included so I bought a $100 GC on both mine and my husband’s card. Gives us $200 in available travel funds PLUS 10,000 reward points. AlmondFarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyraven Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Very interesting .... thank you .... I like the Gift Card idea .... we're still in the process of using credits from canceled flights in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted June 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I converted all my outstanding travel funds to reward points when they made that offer last year. It was a very generous amount of points. Reigert2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigert2008 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 We purchased our flights to San Juan specifically for this offer. Sure wish it was on the whole purchase though! Pooch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Thanks for the heads up. I never would have known about this as their emails always get buried Pooch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando95 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I used mine to buy $105 worth of points (3,500) and will get another 5,000 bonus on this promo. Between that, the anniversary points i'll get this summer, and the bookings I made for hotels through them for various roadtrips the rest of this year... hopefully I can fly from Vegas to Honolulu on points next April to being my cruise!

Pooch Posted June 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Not sure buying points is the best use of funds. You spent $105 to get about $60 worth of flight fare. A gift card would have cost the same but given you the full amount toward a flight. For example, a $79 flight equals 4986 points. You paid $105 for 3500. Yes you got 5000 bonus points but so did I and I could have bought that $79 flight with money left over and I can use mine to pay for the taxes that points don’t cover on flights for which I DO use points.
