When they did this promo in July 2010 it took a week or so. I remember I was going to give up and then they all appeared in my emails! It does say on the site it takes 7 days.

Thanks! I'm trying to be patient.

Found this on another board. You can get a $25 off code to use for travel between September 8, 2011 and January 30, 2012.
Blackout dates apply November 22 through November 29, 2011, and December 15, 2011 through January 2, 2012. If any portion of travel falls on a blackout date, the discount will not apply.

I did this a couple years ago and got codes for everyone in my family using different email addresses. Hope this can help someone!

did everyone have to book individually or were you able to apply the different codes in one transaction?

I think we did it all in one reservation but I can't remember for sure.

Finally my full size car dropped $30! We are now paying $173.00 pickup Tampa drop off mco for 10 days. I used my insider number..Costco code 763308870 and ad8259 sd2.. I guess I'm paying more because of the pick up in Tampa.

I did the same thing last year with a pick up in tampa and drop of in Orlando. I did pay more. Glad your price dropped!

Hello,
Does anyone know if SW travel fund balances (from rebooking a non-refundable fare at a lower rate) can be applied toward a car rental on their site? The only exclusion they list is SW Gift cards or LUV vouchers. TIA

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

That's a good question, Sherrkel - & one that never occurred to me. I'm interested in the answer as well...
Thanks for posting it...

Can anyone tell me if SW allows parents with young children to board 1st along with handicapped?

I last flew with them in 06 when my youngest was 3 months old & that was the case. Flying with them in March & I was wondering. If you pay an extra $10 fee pp they will do the early bird check in but I'd rather not pay them anymore $ .

Nope. Those with young children board inbetween the A group and the B group. Only those with medical issues and minors flying unattended board early. Then it's the A1-15 group..business select and those paying fully refundable fares, then the A group, then families with kids under 4, then the B group.
Paying for EBCI does not automatically get you up front. You could very well end up in the end of the A group, beginning of the B group.

I received a response to an email inquiry to SW:

"If a Customer purchases a reservation and does not travel, the full value of the unused funds may be applied toward the purchase of future travel for the individual named on the ticket as long as travel is completed within one year from the original purchase date. Although we do not charge a fee to cancel and rebook a reservation, there may be a difference in fares. Please also keep in mind that unused travel funds can only be applied toward another Southwest flight reservation; they cannot be used toward the EarlyBird Check-In option, excess baggage charges (such as overweight baggage assessments), Rapid Rewards Awards reissuing fees, hotel stays, car rentals, or other such costs. In essence, unused funds are specifically associated with fares and, therefore, can only be applied to other fares. We regret any disappointment this policy may cause."

Well, I'm a little disappointed, but I understand the policy.

Thanks for following thru on this & reporting back to us, Sherri.

I think I have some credits to use. Last year we booked a trip to Florida but was able to get the flights cheaper after purchasing. How do I check to see how much money I have to use?

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

If you have a rapid rewards number, have that handy, along with the name & birthdate of each person you're checking for credits, and call SWA. They can help you thru it. I tried checking on-line, but found I had a mixture of points and credits.... It was much easier to just call.
BTW - during the call I found out that I had an expired free flight - and the agent was able to re-instate it.
So good luck!
You won't have any "money" coming. Just credits/points you can use toward the purchase of a new flight.
HTH

 

[WINTER]

what is the difference between points and credits?
