What is SWA's current policy RE: Expired Ticketless Travel Funds?

[Marionnette]

I have some funds that will expire at the beginning of August. I doubt that we will get a chance to go away before then. In the past, you were able to extend the expiration date by 6 months if you paid a fee. But you could not do that until the funds actually expired.

Is this still possible? If so, how much does it cost now? And do you have to wait until the funds expire in order to extend them?

I've also read that if you have multiple TTFs for the same person, that it's a good idea to combine them all on one reservation and then cancel that reservation so that you only need to pay the fee to extend the expiration date once. Anyone with personal experience doing this?

AFAIK, you still can extend travel credits for an additional six months for $50 (or maybe $75) per credit. You do have to wait until the credits actually expire to extend them.

While you can combine multiple credits and then extend them all at once (it's kind of a pain, but possible) be aware that if you do the expiration date for ALL of them will be set to the earliest of the expiration dates.

In addition to the helpful responses you will likely get here at disboards, I would also post the same exact inquiry here;

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/southwest-rapid-rewards-501/

That is a message board for frequent travelers. Since your question is specific to SWA (i.e., not strictly Disney), the frequent fliers of SWA who are on that board should be able to offer additional guidance.
