Southwest $20 Discounts are back

I just spotted on the Coke Rewards website a new offer of $20 off of Wanna Get Away Roundtrip fares for 100 points. This is potentially a huge savings because the $20 discount is applied to all travelers in your reservation (up to 8 passengers). So you could save as much as $160! There are some restrictions, and travel around the holidays are blacked out. Go to: https://www.southwest.com/mycokerewards2012 for all of the rules & restrictions, as well as the black out dates. If you want to get this discount but don't use coke products, shoot me a personal e-mail and I'll sell you one for only $10. Even if you are flying solo, its like getting $10 free!

Gee, Pat, everything was good about your post UNTIL you asked for money for the promotion code. Are times that tough?

Perhaps you are someone who has not been affected by one of the worst economies in 80 years. To be honest, yes times are tough and if I want to spend some time in Vegas and have a small bankroll to gamble with I need to raise money outside of my weekly paycheck (which I am grateful to have since in 3 of the last 4 years I was employed only part-time). Perhaps you are not familiar with Coke Rewards points. The 100 points a person needs for one of these codes (it is not 1 code for everyone but a unique code per reservation) is equal to 34 - 2 liter bottles or 10 - 12 packs. When they are on sale, it will still set you back $30 or more. Like it or not, they have value. I see nothing wrong with asking for what I think is fair compensation for them, from people who want this offer but don't wish to purchase the product needed to get it. What I am sharing for free to my fellow LVA members is the information about the offer.

Appreciate the heads up, Pat - I've been waiting for that offer to come around again.

You got the code for purchasing coke products you were going to buy anyway. If I had the code, I would list it here for free.

Choosing to give something away or asking for fair value in return, is the free choice of the individual. What I resent is your implied criticism of my choice. I am offended that anyone would feel justified to tell me how to use something that is my personal property. I would feel the same way if someone were critical of you for giving something of value away. There is no right or wrong here regarding what you do with points or codes. Because nobody is forced to buy something or give something away. We are all free to choose!

Just a " Heads " up about this promo,
Last year I redeamed coke points for this same promo,
and I booked Air and Hotel through SWA and they didn't honor it,
Reason being I booked through SWA Vacations and no Dice on the
$20.00 discount, they said good for Air only through SWA, So, if
I would have given them less $ for Air only, I would get the $20, But
beings I spent more $ on a SWA Vacation Pkg. Not Valid !!

If you buy a Wendys small beverage there is a code on the wendys cup that you enter on line for a chance to win a prize. Every nonwinner wins a SW $10 cert good up to eight people.

Thanks slabow. You have posted a great piece of information, with minimal cost to the consumer, without requiring payment. Bravo- well done.

Excellent promo, slabow! Thanks for spreading the news. For those who wish to check it out, here is a link:
