So, I stalk SW for lower prices for my trip that I've booked or when I was looking to book, as I'm sure many here do, lol! Late this afternoon, early evening, my fare to come home from WDW was sitting the same as it's been since they released Nov/Dec prices($142/8530pts). My flight home to Chicago is on a Sunday, and as I recently found out, they don't usually include Fridays and Sundays in the sales, which stinks! But, still I keep watching just in case! So about two hours ago now, I checked prices again and was shocked to see my flight home had dropped to $129/7684pts! I couldn't get it to work online, but I called SW and the woman was able to help no problem, very quick and easy! And, I got back 1692 points! I'm not quite sure how the points work but that was a lot more than I expected as the cash price difference was only $13 a ticket! 
So, I thought it was strange that the price dropped to one of the prices in the sale from the last few days, since Fri/Sun's aren't included in sales, but it dropped right after the sale! I'll still keep stalking the sales, and now, just after sales, lol! You never know. I will say, our day we go down on Black Friday has not had any prices go lower at all, and most times for wanna get away are sold out, and the remaining few are $322 and one time is 206. Very curious to see if any times will suddenly have tickets or prices will change at all with the Anniversary sale coming up this next week!
Anyway, just a heads up to anyone else hoping for a SouthWest credit of points or cash, or lower price, you might wanna check out your fares just in case!
