January is perhaps the best month to plan a vacation. The new year gives a fresh perspective on goals for the next few weeks, months, or even years. If you have travel plans on your mind for 2025 but haven't yet booked flights, check out this gift card deal at Best Buy.

As of Jan 14 at 11 a.m. ET, a $100 Southwest digital gift card is discounted to just $85 on the Best Buy app. That's a 15% discount that means you can save $15 on your next booking with Southwest.

Best Buy knows how to treat us right. A few times a week, the retailer launches Best Buy Drops. These exclusive deals are available via the Best Buy app and have limited quantities, sometimes selling out within an hour of going live. Which is to say, if you'd like to save some money on your next trip with Southwest, it's best to jump on this offer ASAP.

Since Best Buy Drops, including this Southwest digital gift card, are exclusive to the app, it's best to have it pre-installed. It's also a time-saver to already be logged into your free Best Buy account. This way, you'll be all set to "add to cart" come 11 a.m. ET. You can also opt in to get notifications on your phone once a deal goes live.

Snatching up free money with this Southwest gift card deal is a great way to start a trip off on the right foot. While traveling by plane comes with some stress (shoes on or off at TSA, luggage weight, red-eye flights, etc.), flying with Southwest comes with some nice perks.

For starters, the airline allows you to check two bags for free. You read that correctly — free checked bags. Southwest also doesn't charge a change or cancellation fee and all fares come with free same-day standby, so you can potentially take off earlier if your schedule allows.

Southwest has a massive flight network, covering the continental U.S., Hawaii, Belize, Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean. That means you'll be set if you have travel plans in 2025 or you're due for a visit home.

If you have upcoming travel plans that work with Southwest's destinations, it's a no-brainer to grab a $100 Southwest gift card from Best Buy for just $85. You'll be saving $15 on your next vacation which is sure to come with priceless memories for a lifetime. But grab this deal quickly since Best Buy Drops tend to vanish with impressive speed.
