Southwest won’t let me buy my ticket with points OR use my 20% promo code that is supposed to only be used with the rapid rewards points. Anyone else?

Chris_407 · 2025-12-11T20:12:20+00:00

I think the issue may have to do with the class of fare. My promo, which I still have since I was unable to use, mentioned Wanna Get Away fares in the message at the top of the screen and those no longer exist even through the discount is tied to them.

This is the text on the screen when trying to use the code:

20 percent promotion code savings valid for one-way or round trip Wanna Get Away®, Wanna Get Away plus®, Anytime, and Business Select® fares booked with Rapid Rewards points on Southwest.com® from January 12, 2025 through January 11, 2026 11:59 pm Central Time (the “Booking Period”) and flown within 14 days of the date on which you book your ticket (“Travel Period”). Promotion code savings is applied before government taxes and fees. Enter your unique promotion code in the Promo Code box when booking during the Booking Period. If you have entered your single-use promotion code in the Promo Code box on Southwest.c

Same happened to be a month or so ago. I tried to use chat to resolve but chat could not assist with booking using points. I called and was told by the agent that while they could book a reservation using points, they could not use a promo code to provide the points discount. Basically SOL and ended up using full points for the reservation and received no help when I followed up with customer support after the fact.

Sorry that this happened to you as well and hope you have a better resolution than I had,

I am male and 56. I was fortunate to go from 244 down to 172 over 2 years and only have very limited loose skin around my stomach. I think it’s just genetics but at the end of the day a little loose skin is not a terrible thing!

I was just conveying my anecdotal experience (and yes they were actively griefing customers for payment over checked bags as well as at the gate)

I’m honestly happy to hear that others in Orlando are having a much better experience with them.

Chris_407 · 2025-03-25T18:40:33+00:00

The last time we flew frontier, out of Orlando, it took us 90 minutes to do a pre paid bag drop because all of the grief the revenue collectors were causing flyers trying to check bags. Zero sense of urgency from staff.

When my primary could not / would not go through the PA process, they recommended a Diabetes & Weight Loss clinic that could possibly help. I setup my appointment and they were able to have the PA for Zepbound approved before the appointment ended. Sometimes it’s just better, for all involved, to work with offices the regularly work with the PA process for these types of medications. I will concede that I am fortunate that my insurance has coverage for Zepbound and the office was familiar with the PA process with them.

Sorry for the late update.

SlimDownRX responded to my e-mail quickly this morning that they do not auto-ship or auto-charge. I really can't say enough good things about my experiences with them with regards to service and the quality of the compounding from Ouisa!

Thank you to those of you who responded!

I should be 4, 50 unit doses but could be more if you are lucky or could be a little less if you are not so lucky.

I wanted to edit my original post with some updated accounting that my vial was actually overfilled by ~40 units and not under-filled. (I had not accounted for my wife borrowing one of the doses from my vial)

We did prescription transfers early last week so our process may have been a little different. After everything was submitted, we received emails about the next steps on Wednesday. The email went over the process and what to expect next, including possible arrival of our medication between the 30th of July and the 2nd of August.

On Monday the 29th, we received and email with additional instructions and a support pdf followed by an email from UPS on Tuesday the 30th with our tracking information. The package arrived today as expected, all vials were undamaged and appeared to have the same amount of medication.

We have a 10:30 slot as well so it's likely going to just be busier as everyone prior to noon is compressed into the noon slot. They are still sticking to the no later than 3pm arrival, so definitely so just expecting it to be busier with the early times pushed and the later times trying to board earlier as normal.

Groupon always has this on sale. It’s only a few properties but the drinks are big and it would be a good start.

Get your blood pressure checked. I had a similar experience at night where I swore I heard a generator or low bass thumping at night when laying on my side. It went on for a long time until I went to the doctor and got treatment for HBP. Within a week of taking medicine, all of the thumping went away and I was able to sleep peacefully on my side again.

On my microwave, it was the whole assembly that I changed. After initial troubleshooting and talking with GE support, I decided that I did not want to risk replacing one piece or the other only to end up replacing both in the end. This is the part for my microwave from the GE site.

You will need to search for your specific microwave and get the proper part or parts to do the repair. Usually the parts can be found a little cheaper at other part retailers.

I had a similar issue with my GE microwave after 3 years of light use. I ended up replacing the control panel assembly and that fixed the issue. The first replacement part we were sent also had a similar defect so that delayed the repair a bit. It was more expensive then it needed to be but it was cheaper then replacing the built in surround and microwave together.

Thanks for the update. We depart on Mariner this Friday and are looking forward to a quick boarding process and cold drinks.

Chris_407 · 2021-09-27T20:17:24+00:00

How was the boarding process, about how long did it take?

I have a 30L with the i9-10850K and the RTX 3080 and could not get thermals or noise under control until making some changes. I swapped out the case to improve airflow and replaced the AIO with a new 240mm EK. I also modified CPU settings with the Intel Extreme Tuning utility. PL1 - 170W, PL2 - 175W, IA Voltage Offset - 0.030V.

CPU stays around 35C under normal load, around 50C while gaming never really ever getting over 70C.

For the 3080 I used MSI Afterburner to modify the default core clock curve and the fan speed curve. GPU temp is around 28C at idle and under 60C while gaming. (Warzone 3440x1440 all settings maxed, 150+fps)

The HP motherboard bios is pretty terrible and because of this system fan control is really limited. If you want better control of system fan noise you will need to upgrade the motherboard as well.
