Got the promo also, but just for BS flights, which is fine with me since that's what I book. Great timing too...heavy WN travel during the next couple of months.

Holy crap, I actually got it this time. Too bad I can't use it as all of my previously booked flights during the period have gone up in price.

I got that one too but there seems to be something funny about the T & C

The title says
Double points on roundtrip Business Select® Fares!
Then it says:
We’re giving you double points on all of your fall flights,
Then in the T & C at the bottom:
A qualifying flight for Rapid Rewards is a one-way revenue Business Select® flight booked through Southwest.com® from an origin city to a destination city
So:
Do all flights qualify?
Or only BS flights (either one way or RT?)
Or is a Round Trip required?

No luck here on any of the three accounts I manage. Not a whole lot of travel planned, but I'd have switched several flights to cash if any of us had gotten the promo.

Typical non-proofread WN stuff.

It is astonishing to me they do not have people who can write clear, unambiguous English.

First targeted promotion I received. ^ Interesting as this is the heaviest fall travel season I have had since joining RR, 11 oneways booked within the travel period. I am going to have to review and see where it might makes sense to rebook for cash or more cash.

This in addition to the hotel booking bonus and 2,400 point Alamo deal is going to mint a lot of points.

They are the same people that also write computer code & F/A Union Contracts in their spare time. Isn't that what they call tri-lingual?
