Hi,
I booked on-line, and too was leery of cancelling and rebooking. Overall, we were happy with what our original fares were, and didn't want to risk losing out altogether. (of course, it's nice to find a better fare, though,lol)
The other day I posted something similar to this post.
The long and short of it is that I booked at the $79 fare, and just 6 days later, the fare dropped to $49 for the return flight.
I called SW, and went about seeing how to get credit for the difference of $120 back onto our cc, not for future flights. It took a couple of calls, but we got it.
Here's the link if you're interested:

SW rebooked us at the $49 fare, without cancelling altogether and rebooking(does that even sound right? lol)
If they were to cancel and rebook, wouldn't the original money go back to my cc, then I'd have to go through the entire booking again? (which didn't happen)
I did get a new email from SW that had the $49 fare, which I printed out.
Happy Planning
