In a previous post I wrote about my triple dip using the American Express Premier Gold card (read here) I explained how to receive $300 worth of airlines credit on a carrier of your choosing by owning this card for one year before canceling prior to the annual fee of $195 comes due.
I detailed how I received a $100 worth of gift cards from Southwest Airlines and needed to wait until the calendar turned to 2018 for the second "dip" to claim another $100 Southwest gift card.
Last week I purchased two more Southwest gift cards from the airline's web site. One card for $45 and another for $55, both gift cards were received immediately and my Amex was charged accordingly. Now, after about 7 days I received my credit for the purchase from American Express. I have $200 worth a Southwest gift cards for a future trip currently credited to me. The third and last part of the "triple dip" can't be exercised until January 1, 2019 after which I will have successfully received $300 in Southwest gift cards without ever having to pay an annual fee for the card. Shortly after that credit is issued I will cancel the card.
