Southwest Airlines ran a great special earlier this week on flights, their first really good sale in quite some time. For travel up to 500 miles the fares were $49 one-way, and even for cross-country travel the prices were just $149 one-way. We are sure thousands took advantage of these deals, but of course we aren’t privy to Southwest’s internal numbers.

What we do know is that a number of people saved even more using discounted gift cards to Southwest from CardCash.com. Once the deal began spreading across the web, many customers contacted us to purchase Southwest gift cards and have them sent to them in time to take advantage of the double savings. Which we did! And these customers not only saved with the Southwest great fare, but tacked on an additional 5% savings using discount gift cards for travel from CardCash.com.

$Awesome!
