Our biggest perk on southwest was that no one wanted to take a seat next to a kid so we ended up with an empty seat while the plane was nearly full.
Many other airlines had small toys, coloring books, matching games, stickers etc... less so in us but we got a pin from united once...

Son was also given a small goodie bag by SAA. Granted it was international longhaul.
The pins that both of you got sound awesome. I would love to get a real set of wings but FAs don't seem very willing to part with them!
I disagree in your thoughts that this certificate is not a perk. I definitely feel that is a perk. The thing is that Southwest seems to be phasing it out. The certificate is a known ttem among the employees, they just seemed to be getting very hard to come by at this point.
