I don't believe this is an issue. The same thing happened to me with some of the double-credit promos in the fall, and I still got my credit. It appears to me that they will "disappear" from your account once the last day to register has passed - even if you're already registered.

Having spent chunks of the last couple of months booking...or attempting to book....various travel, I'm of the firm belief that this is purely designed to ease the pain of some pretty steep fare increases from MDW.

No they do not. There was what seemed to be the exception in the CO OnePass => ... => RR credits alchemy of a couple of years ago, but we finally discerned that it was the partners that effectively shut down that fiasco|bonanza. (EDIT: And it must be noted that there is always the possibility|probability that Budget will shut down a partner promotion that involves any partner, including Southwest...)

It's normal to be skittish re disappearing promotion registrations - and no one more than a FTer - but be not afraid with Southwest. I was most impressed when, during the big promos when SFO opened, Southwest's computer was discerning "roundtrips" to|from SFO even when there were several other trips in between, and posting the bonuses.

*****************
I do know of a recent instance in which Southwest dropped the ball later on. Several friends signed up for the enrollment bonus associated with the BOS opening. It was billed as "8 bonus credits". When they got six and called, they learned that they had to stay enrolled in Southwest's email programs for two months. (They'd signed up for them at the get-go.) At the end of two months, they called. "Could take six to eight weeks to post." But they didn't post. They called again at my persistent encouragement. (By which time, most, as my friends, would have forgotten all about it.) Two credits posted by the CSR on the spot.

Greetings

A lurker here, jumping in the pool...

I think I am poised for a 10 credit RT this week: MDW to BOS.

Credit 1: Base Credit
Credit 2: Business Select Fare
Credit 3: MDW Bonus Credit
Credit 4: BOS Bonus Credit
Credit 5: Swabiz bonus credit for my company

I've previously had 8 credit RTs when one of the cities is a double credit. If the MDW and BOS stack, this will be a huge overnight trip. Anyway, it's good to finally have something worth posting about!

The bonus credits will stack...Nice haul. My record was 5 o/w as well when they had triple CA credits and I had a double credit offer. They add up real fast!

And welcome to FT!

So I never got a call back from customer relations.... Kinda wish they would have called me back. Anyway I did get (2) credits on my flight today.

Just to confirm I did register but it does not show up as a registered promotion for me and it still works! Thanks WN...

I can confirm as well. Flew FLL-MDW yesterday and got the 2 credits (1 base + 1 MDW bonus) with no explanation online, nor any record that I registered for the MDW promotion.

Did you register? Or is everyone getting the bonus on MDW flights?

Could anyone confirm that they were registered for both the MDW/MKE 2x promotion and the systemwide double credit offer (ending may 31) and the offers stacked?

Just completed the first leg of MDW-CLE-MDW yesterday (should net 3 credits per leg) but only received 2 credits for the first leg (with no explanation so cant tell which promo the 1 bonus is from). Should I expect the 3rd one to come a few days later?

I received 3 credits for MDW-MCI last month (all on one line in my WN "credit detail" page, it posted within hours of my boarding) - I would call & ask why you only got 2.

This offer says you must book the flight by March 31. The systemwide promotion says you have to book after April 7th. I don't see how you can get both.
