DP – received 5% offer on three of my cards, booked WN flights for March on 1/11/25. Received $40 credit on all three of my cards 1/17/25
First time seeing them add a restriction on when the flight has to occur. I take it buying a flight for March travel wont work?
I have a Chase Southwest Premier credit card but I don’t see this offer
My offer says for February travel only.
Think purchases in January (for Feb flights) will count?
Earn up to 5% cash back* on your Southwest Airlines February purchase, when you spend $50 or more, with a $40.00 cash back maximum.
It’s the perfect time to get away – unwind, relax, and recharge by flying in February for the highest cashback. We aim to provide flexibility on the fly for you with the Southwest travel experience – including digital bag tracking, upgraded in-flight WiFi, no change or cancellation fees & 2 bags fly free!
Offer expires 2/15/2025. Offer valid one time only. 5% reward only valid on purchase booked and flown in February. Reward maximum is $40. Payment must be made directly with the merchant. Rewards cannot be combined. Offer not valid on purchases made using third-party services or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later). Payment must be made on or before offer expiration date. Terms apply.
The most troubling language is “booked and flown in February.” The 10% reward offer does not include that language and provides a 10% offer if the flight is flown in February; otherwise 5%. It would be really odd for Chase to have an offer that can’t be used immediately but that seems to be what the language suggests.
yeah, you just have to book by 2/15 for a February flight.
readers pl note, the 10% cash back is ONLY on the fare this is calculated, in other words if south west fare from Miami to Las Vegas is $499 that will include taxes and crazy fees+surcharges you WILL NOT get 10% back on that, you may end of up getting 10% on $200 which Chase and Southwest calculate as NET airfare paid
Crazy right ? Well that is how banks and corp America cheats you
Wrong
He is indeed wrong. It’s 10% of whatever is charged to the card. Shopping portals are the ones that exclude taxes. I used this southwest offer last year.
Not true. But even if so, the tax on your MIA-LAS flight is $5.60. The only time you’ll pay some high tax is to the Caribbean and Mexico.
Crazy fees and surcharges on Southwest lol
The cheapest WGA fare from Miami to Las Vegas for 2/15 is currently $174, $35 of which is taxes and fees.
So nowhere near the 60% going to fees+surcharges that you claimed. And the whole purchase counts toward the bonus.
Crazy, right?
0 for 2 on my Chase cards.
i’ve done this offer a couple of times with gift card purchases, it works as long as you’re buying the gc directly from southwest’s website
You’d save more by getting your gift cards from GCX or Pepper
Also available on US Bank cards.
If I buy tickets for two persons with the same record locator, will they be billed as two separate transactions with different ticket numbers? I am wondering how strict the “ Offer valid one time only” language is applied. Would it only apply for one person?
if it’s the same transaction, should be ok (i can’t recall if buying tickets for multiple people results in multiple separate charges)- or if you buy a gift card, then apply the gc toward the ticket purchase, might be a safer way to go??
