Unhappy Lost Drink Coupons at MCI

I was in Kansas City this afternoon and accidently dropped about 10-12 drink coupons paper-clipped together when I threw away a USA Today newspaper at Gate 45.
I later saw them on a chair next to a guy's suitcase, but didn't know they were mine. I wasn't aware that I had lost them until I got on my flight and wanted a drink.
If you are the guy who found them, please message me.
Most expire in December. 4 of them I just received in the mail this week and they expire in April 2013.

Having gone through the pain of losing a stack of drink coupons twice - I feel your pain. Good luck.

I guess maybe they do, but at the time I saw those sitting there, I didn't know mine were missing. Didn't realize it until I was on the flight and wanted to order a drink. by then, it was too late.
If I had known my coupons were missing, I would have walked over to look at those

Gotcha. That does stink. FWIW, I generally leave coupons laying around (Easter eggs) for people to find and use. Maybe Karma will be good to you.

yeah, if I have one that has to be used on a certain day (Business Select fare) I'll leave it in the seatback if I'm not going to be able to use it due to time of flight. I also will buy a drink on occasion for someone for various reasons in-flight. It's always nice to share, just not all coupons at one time, on accident!
oh well, someone picked up a nice perk.
I'd rather lose those than lose a credit card or drivers license, right?

Just curious, since RR 2.0 was rolled out I've accumulated 497,000 points (in round numbers). All points were butt in seat. I've never received a single drink coupon in the mail or otherwise from WN, unless I purchased a BS fare. Am I missing something?

Is your mailing address up to date on sw.com? You're supposed to get them every 10 one way flights. I've got a stack I normally save up until the next party plane to vegas where I buy drinks for everyone on the way out.

You might want to check your account profile. There is a check box to opt out of drink coupons.

Log in. Then click though
