"Thanks for being YOU; and for flying US!" E-mail
I'm still not convinced this isn't SPAM, but I did do a segment run today (but didn't speak to anyone except the gate agents):
... anyone else ever get one (actually, I got two, within seconds of one another) of these?
"Party" ... lol

I've received these twice. Once for 1,000 points, which posted within hours of the completion of my itinerary, and once the email provided free drinks. You merely showed the email to the FA. That email was valid for 4 weeks, so that resulted in close to 20 freebies!

Just noticing now on my rapid rewards account a "Surprise & Delight" 1,000 points posted to my account tied to my last trip I took on WN. Never heard of this perk until I saw it/searched these forums. Additionally, I was not called to the gate either before the flight as others have noticed.
