Thanks for the heads up! I bought 6 x $500 face value.

At first I was thinking, "500 is a lot, I should probably get just 1, not 2." Then I checked my reservations and remembered I have almost $2k of BS/AT tix booked for the next 3 months. With $3k in GCs I can refund those cash tix and rebook with GCs, leaving only around $1k net cash tied up in the remaining GCs.

Just keep in mind that your BS/AT fares become non-refundable when purchased with a gift card. If you need to cancel, you'll receive travel funds with the usual limitations and expiration date. (Also, gift cards aren't refundable or replaceable if lost or stolen.)

PSA for the many Alaska Airlines traitors here in this sub-forum.

The same deal is available for Alaska Airlines. Now you guys have even more opportunities to tell us how Alaska first class is so much better than WN.

I thought there would be limited quantities that sell out quickly-- hence why I jumped on it Friday afternoon when I saw the alert here-- but I checked just now and it's still available.

Make sure you guys ask for the $50 off $500 Costco.com coupon via Costco chat too and add a filler like another WN or AS GC.

This deal is still alive. Will it end Sunday night or continue into November?

Rep via chat stated that the $50 coupon already expired on 25th; went ahead using the $40 off with a $250 purch & applying a $40 cash card that came with a new mbrshp sign-up to bring it down to $369

After the $430 sale a few months ago (bought 2) I'm holding out for better than $450.
