Called regarding a different issue a couple of hours ago and the person I talked to mentioned a WN charge was still pending, but once it posts they will credit me after verifying the transaction qualifies. Not sure what that means, and didn't press the subject.

southwest egiftcard no go for me!
purchased 300 southwest egiftcard, called yesterday for the reimbursement. was asked what was the charge for, I said it is for incidental, was told they need to call southwest to verify the charge in detail before the reimbursement. Got an email today saying the charge is not qualified because it was for the gift card.
Is it worth trying again?

Folks, you aren't going to really have a $300 Southwest incidental charge... I mean, maybe you could, but that's going to be tough, and hard to believe.
There's a reason why most people here limit these charges to $100 a pop. I can easily spend $100 on luggage fees, for instance. $300 in one pop? That's not possible for me.

Please use a little common sense and discretion people. Do not expect to pass off a huge charge as an 'incidental', realize that 'incidentals' generally consist of sub $100 charges.

Just received my card and verbal confirmation from the marketing dept that they have switched me to the 140k points promo

And, in that regard, I'd suggest letting this one rest. And trying again, a bit smarter, mid-2015, so as not to attract too much attention to your blunder. I don't mean this as punishment, I genuinely mean it as you made a mistake, and that mistake could ruin things for yourself and everyone in the future, so help us prevent that.

Yup, already got my 2014 credit. Will get it again in the first couple days of Jan before the rest of the idiots in the world mess it up for me.

They should just allow airfare for the credit, like the citi card does. Making people call in just wastes everyone's time. The whole point is that they want this to be your card on file with the airlines or OTAs, so that it's your default for trips in the future.

I think the point is to temporarily lower the cost of the card without reducing the annual fee. American Express started this, and when they phase it out, Citi and Chase will follow in short order.

I think what they're really hoping for are people who spend the $395 but never really take advantage of the incidental reimbursement.

I know the 140k points converts to 50k southwest (CP eligible) points. Where do I do the transfer? Online or on the phone?
Will I be able to transfer them to a rapid rewards account not my own (my fiance's)?

come one, You can easily pay for incidental for a group of 5~6 using your card, which is not unusual for family travel. in this thread, folks who bought $150 or $180 southwest egfitcard had no problem getting reimbursed, there are folks bought small gift cards got turn down. With so many people who just got the card and trying to take advantage of this perk in such a tight window, it caused chase's attention. I wish I could have requested it a couple of days ago.

My wife and I Applied on 12-26 and we both got the 7-10 day notice. We called the recon line to see if we could get immediate approval. We had to move some credit around from our existing accounts for approval (both of us have 5 Chase cards). We used our Marriott numbers in the application. We received both cards today (12/30) and we didn't ask for expedited service. We called the 855 # on the card to confirm they were active. The rep confirmed the 140k promotion was attached to the accounts.
