Southwest CEO Gary Kelly Loves Halloween

Gary Kelly

What’s the best part of Halloween? Is it getting dressed up or getting to go trick or treating?If we were to run a poll, my guess would be that both options would get their fair share of votes.

Based on a video I came across, I think Southwest’s CEO Gary Kelly would choose dressing up in awesome costumes. Continue reading Southwest CEO Gary Kelly Loves Halloween

Earn 2X Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Points on Flights

Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards

Earlier today I received an e-mail which had what I assumed was a new offer from Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards. With the offer, I can earn 2X points on fall trips. The funny thing is that the offer actually started over a month back!

The 2x point promo started on September 14 but there is still time left to take advantage if your planning to book an upcoming flight. This is a targeted offer so if you didn’t receive a message about it, then this probably won’t help you.

(I did receive this offer for Lucas’ and my account so I’m guessing that most Rapid Rewards members received the offer?) Continue reading Earn 2X Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Points on Flights

Southwest Mocks Airline Fees, Giving Away 3 $250 Gift Cards

Southwest Airlines

I’ve mentioned many times in the past how I like Southwest for their friendly customer service, unorthodox boarding procedure, no change fees and not charging bag fees.

I recently received an e-mail about Southwest’s Transfarency. With Southwest they claim to have low fares and nothing to hide. So things included are 1st & 2nd checked bags, no change fees and free live TV.

While Southwest is boasting about these things, they’re also mocking some other airlines in a funny new campaign/ contest where 3 lucky winners will each get a $250 Southwest gift card. Continue reading Southwest Mocks Airline Fees, Giving Away 3 $250 Gift Cards

While I’m not much of a drinker during flights, it’s still nice to have options.

Southwest Airlines offers a variety of free drinks like water, sodas, juices and some hot items. It’s been a while since I’ve flown with the airline, but I’m pretty sure they offer free snacks like peanuts or pretzels.

Southwest recently added a couple of new drink options to their flights and there are also a couple of upcoming dates where passengers of age can get a free (alcholic) drink! Continue reading New Southwest Drink Options + Free Drink Dates

NYC’s Southwest Porch Opens

Southwest Porch

Southwest Airlines has local spaces in four cities which are meant to be an “inviting gathering place in the community” according to Nuts About Southwest.

These spaces are known as the Southwest Porch with two of the locations also having ice rinks.

While I’ve never visited a Southwest Porch, I’d like to stop by one of them in the future. Continue reading NYC’s Southwest Porch Opens

Southwest Airlines Sweepstakes

You’d expect that when an airline runs a sweepstakes, winning a flight would be involved. However this is not the case in this month’s Southwest Airlines Sweepstakes which offers 3 contests with 3 different prizes.

Regardless of these sweepstakes not offering a free flight, there are still some pretty cool trips/ prizes being given away.

Let’s take a look. Continue reading Three Southwest Airlines Sweepstakes for July

A Southwest E-Mail To Get Excited About

Southwest Companion Pass

This year has been a pretty slow one for credit card sign up bonuses so far.

Considering that we’re almost half way through 2015, I find it a bit surprising that I’ve only received four new cards to date. By the way, I also got Kim a couple of cards.

If I keep up this pace for 2015, I most likely won’t even earn 500,000 miles/ points from bonuses.

Here are the amount of miles I’ve earned thanks to credit card sign up bonuses in recent years:

  • 2011 775,000 miles & points
  • 2012 753,150 miles & points
  • 2013 665,000 miles & point
  • 2014 605,000 miles & points

However, yesterday I received an e-mail from Southwest that I’m really excited for.
