Costco.com is once again selling $500 Southwest Airlines gift cards for $429.99, this time for the next three weeks through Christmas Day. This is $20 per card better than the regular discount that we see through Costco, so could be a good value for those with paid travel coming up.
Sam’s Club has also extended their sale as well.
The Deal
- Costco members can get a $500 Southwest Airlines gift card for $429.99 online at Costco.com.
Key Terms and Conditions
- Offer valid December 4-25, 2024
- E-mail delivery
- Limit 5 per membership (YMMV)
Quick Thoughts
This will obviously be a good deal for those who fly paid Southwest flights. The one downside is not being able to earn 3-5x on the airfare purchase, as these will code as a normal Costco purchases. That can be partially offset by using a 2x card like the Costco Visa, the Capital One Venture X or the Capital One Venture Rewards (also remember that you can use Mastercard and Discover on Costco.com purchases).
In addition to being available online, this sale will presumably be running in-store too provided your local store actually stocks Southwest gift cards.
If you have a Costco Executive membership you’ll also earn 2% back as that’s earned on third party gift card purchases as well.

You can get 5X UR by using VGC/MCGC to purchase Costco Shop Cards, which can be used for Costco.com purchases.
