how many conditions can you keep track of?
 

Just got this email.

1. Must register between June 15 and June 21
2. Must book to or from MSP between June 15 and June 21
3. Must complete that travel between June 15 and July 21
4. SWA will send promotion code on August 6
5. Must make new purchase using this promotion code between August 6 and
August 20.
6. This travel must be between September 13 and November 16
7. This travel must be roundtrip

WHO thinks up these bizarre promotions?

Synergistic interface of marketing and yield management?

Heh...heh...that promotion is this:

1. Buy expensive tickets for the summer.
2. We'll give you half-off the cheap fares when no one else is flying.

I got that, too. I have a trip scheduled for October to MSP, but I do not really see an advantage to paying full price now just to get half off then. Especially since I have no plans to go now.

This seems to be a safe promotion, full price during biting fly and mosquito season for half price during rainy season.

(Apologies to MN, I could not help myself. It is really bad here. Hot and humid. I hear it will change later in the week. Hotter and humider. And, it's worse in August.)

Maybe it appeals to those traveling FROM MSP :)
