I was told Southwest bookings do earn 5x points this way, and they count towards the $300 credit. If nothing else, this should provide a reasonably good way to bank the credit: purchase a ticket for $300, cancel through Southwest to get flight credits with them. Southwest flight credits never expire, so this would be better than Delta etc., assuming you'll fly Southwest at some point.
