Great post! There are some really good deals out there with UA/AA matching....To and from LAS looks pretty attractive (UA: BOS-LAS, AA: TPA/FLL/JAX-LAS)....There are just too many options to name them all....

The only question: will DL and/or US get involved?

This is definitely a WN match. Mostly available mid-week, but some Thurs-Sat or Fri-Mon available, and same day turns are possible. 3.5 CPM possible if you route both ways through IAH with minimums (same day routes through DEN on return for 3.9CPM).

I assume since there is a promo code involved you cannot get these prices on SW with their points ?

That's correct. T&C state: "Discount is not valid on reservations made using Rapid Rewards Points."

On Delta I'm getting:

CHS-ATL-SFO then return of SFO-CHS-ATL for $249.00

$249/5278 MQM = 4.71 cents/miles

Classic. Not only does it make it harder for competitors to match, but you screw your frequent flyers who can't redeem at the sale prices. A win-win -- for the company only, of course.

Impatiently waiting for DL to match so I can give them some of my money. Want to buy tix to BOS and NYC. And SFO if I can make the dates work. Come on, Delta...

AA is now starting to match the SWA coupon price, without the roundtrip restriction. MSP-ORD as low as $56 oneway now. ^

Does anyone have a good source for finding the matches? They don't seem to be reliably popping up in the farecompare "where to go next" function.

Just plugging in some cheap city pairs, I found US matching WN from PHL to LAS during the relevant sale period: a remarkable $140 roundtrip.
