I don't fly SWA enough to be a pro at this so bear with me.
We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) flying to Cancun. Costco has the 10% off SWA gift cards that I'd like to use. To maximize it, We'd need 5 $500 gift cards (savings of $250), but then we'd have to do 3 different transactions to be able to use them all. (Three methods of payment per transaction, which means 2 gift cards plus the rest on credit card.)
So I'm asking, with the chance of having different boarding groups being an issue since we have children, is it worth it to do this? Am I neglecting to consider anything else?
Part of me thinks I should just do one big transaction, use 2 gift cards and be done with it. I'd still save $100, and I'd have peace of mind that we could all sit together (most likely). But--I'd miss out on the additional $150 savings. Yes it comes down to comfort level and personal preference, but WWYD?
