Our Verdict
Nice savings on flights. Let us know if you try this out on a gift card purchase.
Post history:
I don’t see this deal on my Chase offers page. I have a Sapphire Preferred and Freedom Unlimited. Anywhere else I should be looking?
I purchased 3 upgraded boardings for $120 with my priority card, got reimbursed for all 3 per the card benefit, plus $12 after 10% offer, for a $12 money maker.
This is back for me on my SW Priority card:

WN Priority card
Bought $400 gift card OCT 28
$75 travel credit OCT 28
10% credit promo NOV 3
$400 gift card turns to $285 cost.
The $75 travel credit is unrelated, unless you had no “normal” way to use the credit like booking a flight.
Correct. I was just adding that as another data point reference for any future users.
thanks for the data point!
Can you use this to purchase points ? I have 50 percent off points with SW?
Points go through a 3rd party seller so it doesn’t trigger Southwest credits
Anyone tried to purchase flight then cancel within 24hrs?
I buy a refundable ticket and then cancel all the time. They never clawback the Cashback. It takes a while for the Chase Offer to post though, so usually I don’t cancel within 24hrs; I wait for the Cashback to post and then cancel.
The offer on my Southwest card is spend $50 or more, with a $40.00 back maximum, which expires 11/9/21. So 10% off of $400 along with multiplier for SW purchases makes it worthwhile I think.
What’s the appeal of this, given costco sells SW gift cards at 10% off so very often, if not every day?
Two benefits: Purchasing the flight(s) directly in order to have the Chase travel insurance benefits in case (or “when”) your flight is delayed/cancelled and as an easy, reliable alternative for those who aren’t Costco members/friends with a Costco member.
For an irregular Southwest flier… are the Costco cards able to be loaded variably? If not, some passengers might only want to buy a card to cover one flight that leads to a fraction of the total amount they could save. There’s little point in creating an orphan credit that eats into the 10% saved until they get around to eventually using it.
Using up the $75 SW travel credit on SW Priority card, and getting 10% back from the purchase.
before, GCs were not as good though to those funds expiring 1yr after use, but that is removed. i guess the other advantage of this is that you get extra points
Works on gcs. Did it on multiple Chase cards last round.
Thank you!
Won’t stack though.
Loading slide codes as Slide. I think you are thinking of Fluz. It codes as the same mcc. It does not code as the actual merchant of the gc though.
