A new targeted promotion has been launched for select credit card holders, offering a 10% rebate on Southwest fares for travel next month and a 5% rebate for travel outside of March. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is targeted and has March travel plans with Southwest. The cash back on offer is capped, but it can still result in a nice saving.
To take advantage of this deal, cardholders need to spend a minimum of $50 with Southwest by 29 February 2024 for travel in March 2024. They can then get up to 10% cash back, with a maximum of $40. For travel outside of March 2024, cardholders can still get a 5% cash back, also with a $40 maximum. It’s important to note that the offer is valid one time only.
The terms and conditions for this promotion include a few key points. The flight must be booked by the campaign end date, and payment must be made directly with the merchant. Rewards cannot be combined, and the customer is only eligible for either a 5% or 10% reward. The offer is not valid on purchases made using third-party services or a third-party payment account. The reward will take 2-3 weeks to process from the date of purchase.
This rebate should be easy to lock-in for anyone planning a trip with Southwest, as there are no blackout dates and no fare restrictions. Cardholders can simply book their flights and save. While the easiest way to earn the full rebate is to book a trip for travel in March, cardholders can still earn a 5% rebate for travel outside of March if the booking is made in February.
Fortunately, this offer seems to be targeted to a wide variety of Chase credit cards, including the Southwest co-branded cards. This means that if cardholders need to make multiple bookings with Southwest, they may be able to use multiple cards to earn the rebate more than once. It’s important to take advantage of this opportunity and read the full terms and conditions on the targeted promotion page.
If cardholders don’t have a Southwest co-branded card, they can consider putting their spending on another Chase credit card that offers additional benefits. For example, the Ink Business Preferred(R) Credit Card offers 3 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar on travel, which can be viewed as a 4.5% effective rebate. The Ritz-Carlton™ credit card, although not open to new applicants, offers excellent trip insurances that can outweigh a great return on spending.
It’s also worth mentioning that all three Chase-issued Southwest consumer cards are currently offering a fantastic limited-time welcome bonus, which includes a Companion Pass valid through 28 February 2025 and 30,000 bonus points.
In conclusion, Chase is targeting select cardholders with a rebate of 10% on Southwest flights booked in February for travel in March, and 5% savings on flights booked in February for travel in any other month. The rebate is capped at $40, but cardholders may be able to maximize this offer by using multiple cards. This is a great opportunity to save money on Southwest fares and make the most of the benefits offered by Chase credit cards.
