Hopefully these good times don’t end with the new codes!She accepted it?
You got 3-4 rounds of drinks on a Southwest flight?

I have all these coupons stacking up which I just cant seem to use.
Sometimes, Because I get drunk in the Lounge itself and go to sleep as soon as I get in my seat.
But lately, because, the FA has been refusing to take the coupon. More than 50% of the times in last 2 months (14 trips)
I probably have like 12 or so of this sitting in my bag. SW keeps sending them.

It's generally considered inappropriate to tip a flight attendant, as they are trained professionals who are there primarily for your safety. The flight attendants union is against it and most carriers discourage the practice. In Southwest's case, FAs are supposed to decline a tip if offered.

I have a rather silly question. I have 4 drink coupons that I was planning on using. We are flying on 9/11. I just pulled out the coupons and they expire on 8/31/19. 😞. Is there any chance we could still use them? Are they super tight on the expiration date? If so, we will just be paying for our drinks.
Thanks for any input...

I had a short flight (and very lightly loaded) and before take off I asked the FA if she thought we would get a drink service in bc I had two coupons expiring and on my flight two nights prior we weren't able to squeeze one in. Well we did get it in, she brought me 4(!) drinks, and told me to keep the coupons and that they'd probably get accepted next month still. Obviously YMMV but I have never seen an FA actually check mine when I hand them over.

So, I ran a friend's new coupon (all I have are legacy ones) thru the Barcode Scanner app. Their RR# isn't in there, but there's some potential PII in there (which I've Xed randomly, and issue and expiration dates:
