Tips & Ideas
Gift card purchases are listed as being excluded, but in the past it’s been possible to trigger the bonus points from this offer by buying gift cards from Giftcards.com seeing as those kind of gift card purchases get tracked by the portal.
As always, compare shopping portal rates on Cashback Monitor in case other portals will be more rewarding even when taking into account the bonus points you can earn from this Southwest portal promo.

Looks like the link goes to the United shopping portal.
Oops, thanks! I’ll fix that.
Does the bonus usually take awhile to track? My giftcards.com purchase tracked overnight but the holiday bonus spend meter is showing I’ve spent $0 towards the bonus.
Yep, I think that can sometimes be a little delayed.
I can’t find this advertised anywhere in my account. Although it does keep asking me to install the button, there is nothing about the extra 1000 miles
Noticed the same thing, I wonder if the 1000 bonus miles will post… probably not.
