I got the same email. My last trip was < 1 month ago, but I have definitely cut back on WN over the past year.

Here's my reaction - (yawn). Half a credit to stimulate travel over the next 7 weeks? You cannot be serious (thanks Johnny Mac). If WN really wants to stimulate travel we need to see a return of the triple credit offers. And a longer promotion period.

No doubt this is a great deal for BS travelers (though I doubt RR credits are the driver for most trips, especially in this cost-cutting environment). However, the only leisure travelers to benefit from this promotion will be tthose who need to fly in the next couple of months and haven't already booked. But nobody is going to say "Gee, I should grab that $100 flight to PHX because I can get a .5 credit now".

P.S. Don't get me wrong - I am always happy to see a promo. But next time let's put a little meat on the bones.
