I just received this in my inbox:
Terms and conditions:
Interestingly, I just tried to register and received an error:
WN apparently really misses me!

Did you also received a 25% discount code with this email? Wondering only targeted person can use the code?

There was no discount code in my email.

Dang, wish I'd gotten this one rather than the $30-off to MCO targetted offer last week...

The wife and I each got the 25% off email. Each email has a unique activation code number.

I just received a corrected email and was able to register for this promotion.

I got the same promotion in my email today. I'm surprised to get the "we haven't seen you around in awhile!", since I've flown 3 paid roundtrips in the last month, the most recent one on April 12. The email started with "Your Rapid Rewards A-List Member update", so I wonder if this is targeted to certain or all A-Listers?

Anyway, I have plain old text email so there was no registration link. When I first got the email I logged into my account and looked under Promotions and didn't see anything new. Waited an hour or two, logged in again and checked Promotions and the new promotion ("EXCLUSIVE OFFER - BONUS CREDIT 4/23-6/12/09") was available for registration.

Maybe I need to start flying less with Southwest, so they throw some of these offers my way.

hey everyone, we did have a problem today with the e-mails having a bad link. As some of you have found out, we sent the corrected e-mails to the affected Members, along with a note of apolgy. Thanks for your patience.

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.

My coworker figured he got it since he hadn't flown today ... he did fly yesterday and three other times in the past week though ... why else would they miss him?

Edited to add: I just checked my coworkers account and he also got the offer to buy 5-7 BS tickets get one free promo award, buy 8 or more and get two free promo awards. If he was a glutton for punishment (and didn't have more awards than he could use already anyway), he could do an award run MCI-STL, be about $1,000 and he'd get 8 segments, 26 credits (1.25 + 2 for each flight), and 2 promo awards, not a bad deal, especially if the person needed some credits for CP (which increases the value of the earned credits).

As usual, I have (so far) received nada promotion from SWA. Guess being a CP holder for 4 years now means I am not eligible.

curb -- haven't you flown WN recently? "We miss seeing you onboard"

I always wonder what the criteria are for such promos, when targeted. Lack of transparency is another form of elitism!

The offer I just received was

Buy and fly 2 Biz Select or Anytime roundtrips (or 4 1-ways) by 6/12/09, get a free award ticket good through 12/31/09.

I haven't flown WN in perhaps 2 years. I'll say this is a pretty good offer.

My question is this: Does the award post as earning 16 credits or just post as a free RT? I'm a CP holder and "earning" 16 credits x 2 would go a long long way towards helping me renew.

Man, they have really rolled out a lot of various offers in the last few days.
