Southwest tricky question

[wdwrunner]

Hello!
I am hoping there is a southwest guru out there.

I am looking to book a one way flight in January. Is it possible to use RR points AND SW travel funds that were remaining after I rebooked another trip to pay for the trip?

When I have been playing around on the web site, I most definitely could use RR points but I don't have enough for the flight. (Shy about 1000 points). I really want to first take off the remaining funds I have from the other flight, and then apply the points. OR I would love to use the remaining funds to purchase more points but it doesn't look like you can do that.

Has anyone used remaining travel funds to purchase points? Or have any advice?

TIA!
Kris

You can use points for one way of the trip and cash or travel funds for the other one way portion, but you can't mix funds and points for one flight.

Thank you, Tara. This was exactly the information I needed. It isn't what I wanted to hear but it is what it is. lol
Thank you again
