Here is what I do not understand.
It does not look like you have to "activate" the promotion at all. So, lots of people will pick up 5,000 points due to normal spending and not know why they are getting it. Sees rather silly to me.

Well, it's only for Southwest purchases, right? Not any purchase. On any given day, how many SW card holders are making Southwest-related purchases? It'd be different if this was 50x on any purchase.

I have verified, despite the language in the T&Cs, its not targeted, other than the obvious necessity of being a cardholder

IF they just happened to make a WN purchase next Friday using a Chase RR Visa card, then yeah. Can't be that many pax who stumble over this one day promo unknowingly.

What are the expiration rules for gift cards? I do almost all of my swa flight purchases on points, so a card purchase as part of this promotion would be applied only to security fees. Can gift cards be thus used for anyone's security fee, or only the original purchaser?

Let's say you buy a $100 gift card and use it for a reward trip and just charge the $5.60 fee to the gift card. What happens when you later cancel the flight and request a refund? Does it go back on the gift card?

Funds can be used toward a ticket for anyone, not tied to purchaser.

Gift cards are considered a non-refundable form of payment, and when you apply a non-refundable form of payment to a refundable fare (or fees) it makes the ticket non-refundable.
The $5.60 would become travel funds, tied to that passenger, and with the normal travel funds expiration policy.

Do purchases made through the Southwest shopping portal qualify for the 50x RR points, if paid with the Southwest RR credit card? If that type of purchase qualifies, there’s always the risk of missing out on the extra points, if a merchant’s delay causes the charge to post after the June 11 date.
