Appears to be dead. Shows back to $449 pricing on front page.
Glad i was able to grab a couple last night.
I bought 3 days ago, called Costco customer service and they refunded the $20 per card difference under their price adjustment policy.
The price was 429 and now it’s 419, how can you get $20 per card difference ?
I just submitted a price adjustment online at https://www.costco.com/PriceAdjustmentView
Thank you - I applied for a price adjustment for one I bought April 26th for $449. No idea if I"ll get it or not, but worth the 30 seconds it took to ask.
I bought two of these cards, and I just received a Costco Shop Card for $20, in addition to a credit of $20 to my card. Seems like they may have automatically sent all purchasers a shop card, double-refunding those that submitted a price adjustment.
Costco just dropped it to $419.99. Valid today and tmr

Thanks for that! Limit 2.
A Southwest gift card redeemed for travel is not refundable. Why would anyone use this? One of the few perks of Southwest is being able to cancel for a refund.
I don't get it.
You can't cancel to get your money back to the credit card. You can cancel for Southwest funds.
To be clear, it's still "refundable" in the way most Southwest travel is refundable, particularly if you're used to buying Wanna Get Away fares anyway. You still get a travel credit for any cancel or change you make. Although the travel credit is a little less flexible than a gift card, a person buying a $500 gift card should expect to get $500 in value from the gift card.
Maybe because if they KNOW they are gonna use it?
Haven't flew in a while
but i loved Southwest every single time i boarded. Smooth and comfortable ride as well as excellent customer service.
Don't say that around here. People might call you cattle.
....but I too LUV Southwest. Especially with kids, no other airline beats it.
lol
Houston local news: "Southwest Airlines delays, cancels dozens of Florida flights as Texas Spring Break begins"
Seems like they never change..... still keen on cancelling flights.
It's a bait and switch with these gift cards.....
Oh honey. It's okay to simply not comment.
you ignore the portion where it's because of weather and this is across states & airlines

It's Florida and Texas. They have a very mild winter than the rest of the US
