1800-Flowers: 1750 Southwest Promo is Back, Stack with Amex Offer

Two deals were released today for 1800-flowers which can make for a real powerful combination: $15 off $50 with Amex and 1750 bonus Southwest points on a $29.99 order.

Amex $15 Off $50

• Use an enrolled Amex card to get $15 off $50 at 1800flowers or 1800baskets

This offer can be found in your Amex login and is valid until July 17, 2016. Note that the terms allow us to split up the $50 into multiple charges.

Direct Link

• Spend $29.99 at 1800Flowers and get 1750 Southwest miles. Use promo code: RR94 at checkout.

This offer is valid until May 9, 2016. These promo miles will not count toward a Companion Pass, as  noted in the terms of the offer.

Updates: The promo code has been updated to: RRMD24. Also, it now only works a max of 5 times, and is valid May 2 until May 9.

Miscellaneous Notes

• Frequentmiler notes that you can’t use a portal when using these Southwest promo codes – the portal will get clawed back.
• Using a gift card on the purchase should be eligible for the 1750 Southwest promo, but, last time, some people were denied when doing so.
• Use an Amex business card with Open benefits for an additional 5% back.
• You can use up to two 1800flowers gift cards online per order.
• 1800flowers only sells physical gift cards; keep that in mind if you want order gift cards to use for this promo as the Southwest promo ends on May 9. Another idea can be to buy 1800flowers gift cards are Raise, they come instantly and are currently selling at a 50% discount.

Final Thoughts

The best way to maximize these offers would be to buy a $50 gift card using the Amex Offer and portal, then turn around and use the gift card to buy $30 of stuff using the Southwest code. Or buy gift cards on Raise at 50% off with a similar result. You could theoretically end up paying just around $12.50 for 1750 Southwest miles + flowers.

However, there is a risk since – as noted – some people have gotten denied for using gift cards on the purchase. To play it safe, you can use the Amex offer directly on two $30 orders; this Amex offer allows splitting, and so long as the combined spend is $50 it will work to trigger the $15 credit. This way, you can safely pay $45 ($30 + $30 – $15) for 3500 Southwest miles plus the flowers or baskets.
