11. Where can I get a promotion code? What are they good for?

a.(nsx) Promotion codes are entered on the front Reservation page where you specify origin, destination, and dates. They typically give you a 10% or greater discount if you satisfy the parameters of the promotion. Most (all?) promotion codes issued since early 2004 can only be used once or twice; others allow unlimited use. Promotion codes are rarely issued, and they are typically snail mailed to targeted Rapid Rewards members. If you are a very frequent flier on Southwest, you are unlikely to be targeted for a promotion. If there is a current promotion code that is not member-specific or limited-use, you will likely find it posted on Flyertalk. If you receive one and are sure you will not use it, FTers would appreciate your posting it unless the offer prohibits this.

b. (nsx) No general-use promotion codes have been seen since 2003.
