Only if the flight is separate bookings. A connection within an A-B won't split the trip into two legs.

Example:
SFO-LAS-MDW = 1 flight = 3 credits with the promo
SFO-LAS + LAS-MDW = 2 flights = 6 credits with the promo

In the second example, you would have to reserve two separate flights even if it's the same path.

I have a trip to Denver booked Dec 10-12. At 2:50pm CT I logged into my Southwest account, looked at fares, and $69 each way were available for Dec 11-13. My plans are flexible enough, so I decided to re-book to save about $75 roundtrip.

I went to the facebook page, clicked on Register Now, registered, then went to change the flights. At 3:06pm CT the fares were $163 each way!

What gives?

I wish I had a screen capture of the $69 fares. I am not hallucinating today.

If you flight includes a change in planes from point A to point B, that earns 3 RR credits. You don't earn credit for every segment of the flight, but rather the credit for getting you from point A to point B regardless of how many flights you take.

One roundtrip that is made of of 2 flights each way, or four segments, earns you 6 total credits (e credits each way with the 3X bonus). The only way to earn 12 credits would be to book each segment of the trip as a one way ticket. That way the 4 segments that make up your round trip each earn 3 credits each, or 12 RR credits total.

Thanks for the clarification guys. Perhaps that how doppler will be getting 12 credits per RT.

After a quick glance, I didn't see anything in the terms that mentions not being valid with other promos. I would check with Southwest to make sure if you're planning on trying it. If they indeed stacked, you'd get 1 base credit + 2 bonus credits for this triple promo + 1 bonus credit for DEN/PHL, for a total of 4 credits.

I remember reading in another thread that the DEN/PHL promos should be stackable themselves, so potentially one could possibly get a total of 5 credits for a one-way flight between DEN and PHL (1 base + 2 bonus for triple promo + 1 bonus for DEN promo + 1 bonus for PHL promo).

I can't confirm this, but would be nice if you are planning to book anyway!

Long haul BS should be good for 12 credits R/T. Hot dang.

No, only 8. You get 2 extra credits, not triple the normal amount.

How is that a good deal? $100 + at least four hours of time (and that assumes you live fairly near Love Field) to get 6 credits that are worth maybe $120-150 total... Am I missing something?

I mean, if you genuinely want to go to TUL then this is a great excuse to do so...think of it as sort of a free-ish trip...but as a pure "mileage run" it doesn't seem to work unless my math is wrong.

though I calcualte phl-den would be give 12 credits per BS round trip

1 base credit
1 business select bonus
1 phl bonus
1 den bonus
2 facebook bonus
= 6 each way

Well I'd save about $150 and get triple credits... So I canceled a couple of flights and I'm trying to rebook them. And the site just gives me some error. This is great. Do they just not want me to fly?

Well after talking with two clueless phone agents and being given assurances that swabiz customer support would promptly return my call at midnight, the site finally started working again on its own.

This makes no sense at all. The only possible way it could be worthwhile is if you needed to get some last-minute CP qualifying credits or are 2 credits shy of AL requal.

Shoot, I misread the promotion details in my haste to rebook my flights. 8 is still a good R/T count!

Between the dates of the promotion and my work schedule this sucked. I was looking at maybe doing a day trip to PHL or a mileage run to DEN but that would have given me 8 credits (I needed 9) and if it was $69 or $79 1/w it would have been worth it, but being in FLL, the prices were insane on the return due to holiday travel.

I miss my old job where I could take a day off and travel, but I'm paying my dues now and work 5-6 days a week, so day trips are rarely an option.


To the poster who asked if the price of DAL-TUL R/T was worth the credits, I say yes. BUT that's only if you are going to claim your RR ticket with it. If you have to fly 1 more flight anyway, no. Especially here in FLL, unless you're going intra-state or to like PHX, the WGA fares are insane (and yes, RR ticket seats are limited). My rule of thumb is if it costs me under $100 1/w and I need the credits to earn my ticket, I do the trip. As long as my total costs are less than a RT to a west coast destination, which is always my intended destination for the RR tickets (although I never end up there for some reason!), it is worth it. Especially if I get to go to a new city/airport.
