Yes, I rec'vd a postcard on my Birthday. The card has a cake on the front and says "Happy Birthday". The back says:
"Vacation Invitation Southwest
Dear...
Hello, Pack your bags, in CELEBRATION OF YOUR BIRTHDAY you were verified as of 3/13/09 and as a result of thise offer, your name and Ticketing number have been identified and Issued. You will receive at your request TWO ROUNDTRIP AIRFARES to anywhere in the Continental US: WE'VE BEEN GOING CRAZY TRYING TO CONTACT YOU"---

This is a total fraud. How dare they use my b-day to fradulently scam me. Dont even call. Its a rip off

Rec'd postcard with free flight to Hawaii and bonus accomodations for 2 - I expect this is probably a "scam", certainly a holiday time share sales joint. same phone, same address

I also got a card. I never "bit" on this type of offer. Common sense tells me that it will wind up being more of a headache than it is worth. Face it, it's bait!

Now they are using 1-888-277-2089.  I got one using my birthday as a marketing gimmick.

got the same junk mail...

"in celebration of our anniversary"

number to call as 1-888-299-6003

from First Class Travel in Costa Mesa.

Remember my dad got a free trip to Florida in the 60's, but had to listen to a real estate presentation. Had to pay for airfare and it was a hassle, but at least 3 days were free hotel.

Just got one too that is a birthday postcard that says its from SouthWest for 2 free roundtrip airfares. There is a logo that says SOUTHWEST but no TM which the real southwest would never do, and a rasterized bad photo of a plane that doesn't show the company name. Now NO real airline martketing person would ever do that.

Don't call. Don't give any info

I received exactly the same card today. It is a scam. Do not call them.

Got the same card. I always throw these things out, but decided to look up some info on the internet about the comapnay and found your posts. I think it's great that the internet can be such a good tool for avoiding scams like these.

same info on a postcard offering me two roundtrip airfares t anywhere in the continental US plus seven day car rental.  says call 1-888-792-7109 within 72 hours.

I got the card too.  Thanks for letting me know.  It sounded like a scam.

Just got a postcard from the 125 E Baker St address, saying in celebration of my birthday. Gives a number of 888-299-6004. The text of the postcard is confusing and not clear at all. Also says that Southwest Airlines are not affiliated with them , but a major supplier. This is going right into the trash.

Just received my card with "In Celebration of our Anniversary" Different phone number 1-888-299-1511.Two Airfares to Honolulu Hawaii and accommodations for 2.Same address Costa Mesa Ca. postmarked Tampa Fl.From First Class travel.NO Way.

Fake United Hawaii Tickets offer mailed from FL but located in CA??? They just want your info. to SELL you tickets. There are NO FREE tickets! Scam Scam Scam!!!

I got the United trip to Honolulu postcard listing the same # and costa mesa address.
I thought I was special.

It's ridiculous.  Unfortunately, people fall for stuff like this. Don't expect things for free.

Got the same card..mine is from US Airlines...
Thr trip was Great..
Just kidding..
Sounds like B.S. to me..
Thanks for your post

My parents received one of these today.  They called, and are planning to go to the seminar tomorrow in Napa, CA.  They're both retired, and pretty steadfast in only going for a free trip.  Will update this after I hear about what they found.

Rec'd a birthday postcard 4/16/09.  Attend a vacation club not timeshare seminar for 90 minutes and will get 2 US Airlines tix.  Call back, Willy @ 800-655-9247, ext. 1011 in Orange, CA from 9 am - 3 pm.

I to got the postcard.  Now they have changed the airlines to Continental USA.  My birthday is coming.  I dont know where they get information.  It must be a scam there are enough of us to prove it.Julie

Thank you all for your posts.  I just got a "Happy Birthday" card, too.  Says "US Airlines", which, as far as I can tell, doesn't exist (US Airways does).  

I've been to several presentations for "vacation", i.e., time share presentations over the years.  I usually avoid the travel bonuses.  The legitimate ones that I've been to have also offered actual gifts, gift cards, etc., which I have actually walked out with - after sitting through a film and a hard sell (just say "NO").  I once got a travel gift (besides the others) and it turned out to have all kinds of restrictions, plus, you have to pay them the "tax" or a fee up front. Forget the Las Vegas offers - some of them are for buses and cheap motels.

Also, the legitimate ones have called or send a letter stating exactly who they are and what the deal is - that you have to sit through a 90 minute presentation for a time share.  

I won't respond to this one.  

Kevin, warn your parents.  Could be a huge waste of time.

I just received the "Happy Birthday" card also. New telephone number: 888-792-7109. Postage permit out of West Palm Beach Fla. Remember: "There is no such thing as a free lunch."
