Wow, that’s a nice sight! My Southwest Airlines points posted today. Based on one day of online shopping, it looks like I’ve met the criteria for a free Southwest Airlines companion pass that will be good for the rest of this year and all of 2013!
Interestingly, some people who previously reported disappearing points have received those points anyway. So, check your Rapid Rewards point balance and let us know how you fared.

so FINALLY after the 90 days passed, Southwest admitted they had coded the date of my purchase incorrectly and manually pushed the points through. Was such a pain but totally worth it in the end.
One question – I’m planning to keep some points for future travel, but would like to redeem some for Walmart gift cards as well to reduce my OOP. When I go to add them to my cart, it says I have to login, and takes me here: https://www.secure.awardhq.com/Internet/htm/secureDefault.html
Any idea what my account number is? Nothing is working!
Thanks!
Nicole: I’m glad you finally got the points! I don’t have experience with redeeming for gift cards so I don’t know the answer to your question. Have you tried calling to ask?

To anyone still short of points, it appears the 50k credit card offers are back now. I’m going to save my apps for 2014, and pray that the bonus points for credit cards still count towards CP.
Nicole: Rats!
Ford: Great! That’s amazing!
Hallelujah, my points finally posted. I was one whose purchases never even showed up in the mall(did GC +purchase 2x), I had to submit a ticket after waiting 45 days and was told it could take another 6 weeks, luckily it only took a week from submitting my order number to Cartera before they forwarded it to Sears finally who credited the points. FINALLY!
I did, sadly they said “can take up to 90 business days, sorry”
really unfortunate because now I have to pay cash for a Southwest flight that’s coming up 🙁
still nothing…should I be worried?
Nicole: Yeah, I would be. Maybe submit a support ticket?
Ah ok, that makes me feel better (they still haven’t posted as of this morning). I’m expecting a lump sum of 114,000 points from a bulk physical gift card purchase, which were bought on May 23rd and posted on the 25th. Here’s to hoping today’s my day 🙂
Nicole: Good luck!
Nicole: how many points are you expecting? I’m asking because it seemed that the larger transactions took longer to post.
mine still haven’t posted to my southwest account, but they’re sitting in the mall confirmed. should i be worried?
@c0ldlimit – yes!!!!
Mark: $400 is incredibly cheap for 215k points and a companion pass! Nice job
I ended up with 215k SW points.
I bought physical cards, but they were too slow coming, so I also bought the email kind. Bought and sold items on eBay, amazon, cl, etc
I didn’t know taxes didn’t count.
All in all, lost probably 400 bucks. So my companion pass run actually cost me some.
I can always buy more go from my points, but I’m going to save them on family trips

Thanks to all. As of today my CP status now shows “Achieved” and is active.
