Got 500 points plus 20% off. SO got 1000 points only. Not quite sure how SW is targeting folks here.
Tried to use it online; couldn't because promo starts only on 31st March; then saw that in the fine-print.
Given that I receive nada from any other airline, I appreciate this, Southwest! and I'll put it to good use!

Another data point: 500 points + 20% discount usable on flights booked after the devaluation. I typically only travel solo though so it's much less valuable (unless I find a way to use it for a group). I wonder if this was a factor in the targeting of the discount?

I got garbage.
Although to be fair I haven't given WN a dollar of my travel budget since the devaluation was announced. Just burning through 200,000+ points.

Now when any one of 20,000,000 people gets a promo, it's posted somewhere within 2 minutes. And the non-promo people tend to get at least a little pi$$ed.

Yeah, 20 years ago you could target promotions in all kinds of ways, by the first letter of a last name, or the last digit in a phone number. Then you could run comparisons and tease out marketing results that would help you. Almost no one would know.
