Many lucrative promos I get blanked on, and Southwest matches me for this one?! I don't live in Hawaii and I've only ever flown one one-way interisland trip.

synergistic

My other half and I had that discussion this morning - I'm a promo chaser, sure, but do they really think I'm going to fly to Hawaii for six segments just for some points?

Actually... Are they CPQP or TQP? Maybe I could tie it into the Australia trip somehow... =P

Cledaybuck

My guess is everyone got this one. It is in all three of our familiy's accounts.

joshua362

I don't have a single one except the usual rental car come-ons. I guess they have given up on me. But something this niche you would expect them to cast a large net.

vatexan

Are they CPQP? I cannot find any details. I happen to be going to HNL next month. I can knock out 6 one ways between HNL and OGG in one day for $274 which will give me the 35K points.

If I fly LIH-HNL-OGG, do I get credit for 2 one-ways or just 1 one-way?

joshua362

Generally 1 one way credit per PNR.

And be careful mixing one ways with round trip for the promotion. They seems to have taken the OR very literally in rule #1 per another thread.

iceman77_7

interesting. So I should book all one ways to be safe?

joshua362

Yes, to be safe and furthermore there is rarely any cost or other benefit to booking RT's in the first place, just less record-keeping.

And price out your LIH-HNL-OGG separately as LIH-HNL and HNL-OGG, it might be the same $ or close getting you 2 OW credits instead of 1

xliioper

In this case, it will likely cost somewhat more unless you want a stopover at HNL (layover greater than 6 hours). With one-way LIH-OGG search, LIH-HNL-OGG routing will price on a single fare component as a LIH-OGG fare. WGA fares on LIH-OGG start at $59 total with the connection in HNL. It's the same fares that are used for LIH-OGG non-stop flights, but costs slightly more with the HNL connection due to additional $4.80 US segment tax added to total price.

Purchasing on separate tickets with separate fares for each segment, the best you will do with WGA fares on LIH-HNL and HNL-OGG are $44 for each for a total of $88. But the additional $29 is the price you have to pay if you want it to count for 2 one-way's instead of just 1.

vatexan

Does the 35k qualify as cpqp?

iceman77_7

Has anyone actually completed this promo and gotten the bonus points?

ETA: Looks like the promotional period has changed. It now runs until 9/15/23.

iceman77_7

SWAVictor could you confirm?

SWAVictor

The bonus points are not tier or companion qualifying points.
