I have seen a lot of WN $95 fares that apparently are a match of JetBlue's Bevo's B-Day Sale.
Separately noticed some low fares on non-B6 routes, such as mid-Atlantic and Northeast to Florida. One route that was $125 about six weeks ago, even higher more recently ($138?) is now down to $89.

More cheap fares courtesy of WN matching/semi-matching the B6 five days of daily deals promo.
We're up to day four and the specials end at 6pm Eastern, or when sold out. LGB-LAS is $19 on B6; WN is no lower than $32 for LAX-LAS this time. WN does have some $47 BOS-MDW fares to match B6 BOS-ORD. WN is also matching AUS-FLL @ $69.

Tonight's Ding sale has something new. At least I've never seen it before: Ding fares limited to certain days of the week.
"San Francisco to Los Angeles for $49 One-Way!
- Fare is valid for travel Monday-Thursday and Saturday, October 1 through October 31, 2011 only"
This looks like an attempt to match competitors' restrictions.

I've seen them for quite some time. I've also seen Dings that were advertised for the entire month and sold out on certain days, or only good one way. Perhaps they have been matching all along.

Day of week restrictions used to be very common on DING! Going back a few years you can even find a post where someone asks why DING! fares are never valid on Saturdays (eventually that changed).
DING! has been so bereft of deals in recent years that the day of week restrictions fell by the wayside, making it easy to forget they used to be the norm.

I believe that all airlines are now required to give you 24 hours to cancel without penalty, refunding your purchase price. But I could be wrong.
