:angel: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Consider This......

It would be so great for vacation planning if we could cash out in gift cards for Southwest Airlines. They let you apply 4 GCs per reservation. So several smaller ones will easily combine for one ticket.

The air travel is the one thing I've not been able to find a way to use my rewards for....except for cash, and it's too easily spent on *other* things.:p

SW Airlines has the cards on their website:

Hmmm I might consider flying instead of driving if I could do this :rotfl: Yes I think I would certainly fly.

We are planning on flying our next trip. Until kids, I always flew, then I got chicken. Has taken 12 yrs for me to get my nerve back up. And, SW gc's would be great!!! :banana:

We'll see what we can do with them. Some companies are better than others about getting the cards. Because we do them in bulk, we don't like to buy them individually anymore. It just gets to be a nightmare when it comes to tracking. But I'll have Cindy give them a call and see what kind of options they have.

Thanks. If it doesn't work out we still have Disney dollars and gc, which fun to have in my hands.

I know this isn't the same thing, but I heard yesterday (and just confirmed by going through like I was making a reservation) that SW takes paypal now... So there WOULD be a way to use SR earnings to get a SW ticket...just not as fun as a giftcard! :p

Oh I would LOVE SW gift cards!!! :) They are our airline of choice, so this would work for both Disney and non-Disney trips!

If she can't get them, you could always get the Walmart gc's and buy SW gc's at Walmart with those. Wlamart has been selling SW gc's for awhile now :)

Are you sure that will work? I know at many stores, they won't let you use a gift card to buy a gift card.

But that would be a great idea if it'd work!:cooldance:

I've worked high and low to try to deal with them on bulk sales, but they won't do it, so we won't be getting them. Sorry.
