Airfare can be expensive, even if you book your tickets well before a trip. Luckily, there are ways to save money when buying plane tickets. One way is to purchase discounted gift cards for your favorite airlines and use the gift card funds to pay for your flights.

Costco members can save big. If you’re a Costco member, you can get a $70 discount on a Southwest Airlines gift card now through Nov. 4. This offer could help you save money on Southwest flights for your next trip. Here’s what you need to know about this limited-time deal.

Get $500 to spend on Southwest flights for $429.99

Costco sells gift cards for major brands at a discount to its members. You can maximize your Costco membership by taking advantage of these gift card deals. One travel gift card that the warehouse club sells is a $500 electronic Southwest Airlines gift card.

This gift card typically costs $449.99, but it’s on sale through Nov. 4. Members can buy it for $429.99, which is $70 off the face value. If you like to fly with Southwest, you may want to scoop up this deal before the sale ends to maximize your savings on upcoming flight bookings.

The gift card can be used to pay for Southwest Airlines flights and is redeemable at Southwest.com, the Southwest Airlines mobile app, Southwest ticket counters, or by calling 1-800-I-FLY-SWA. Once purchased, you will receive your digital gift card via email.

Note that there is a limit to how many gift cards you can buy. Costco members can purchase up to five Southwest Airlines gift cards in one transaction. After Nov. 4, the price of this gift card will return to $449.99, so now is an excellent time to purchase this deal if you have a flight to book soon.
