Our Verdict
Somewhat strange that Southwest is offering this bonus but not advertising it. I guess it’s to try and encourage those in Hawaii to sign up due to Southwest flying there now. Yesterday we saw the sign up bonuses on the Chase Southwest cards increased to to 60,000 points as well. Anyway, this is a fantastic deal if you live in Hawaii and don’t already have a Southwest account. You can always redeem 4,050 points for a $25 gift card if you have no intention of ever flying Southwest, although you’ll find the points much more valuable if you do fly Southwest.
