One of the nice reasons to use points, if you've got them. The refunded points aren't tied to any one person.
Yep, don't have those...yet.

Thank you for this. I kind or thought that but good to have you reiterate it. Sometimes I don't pay attention to my inner voice. Then the next thing you know I book a family vacation over the spring break and am facing some serious travel expensealso keep in mind, the prices fluctuate according to how many you book at one time. it's a bit of work, and stressful, especially if you are trying to book the day they open. i sometimes have 5 on one reservation, and 2 on another just to get the best price. good luck
Yes they do. https://rapidrewardsshopping.southwest.com/I just learned about a United app where you earn miles for online purchases. Does SW have anything like this for points ( not the credit card ) ? How do y’all earn points besides flights and the cc?

Yes there is a SWA shopping portal that you can earn points for shopping. It under the rapid rewards tab on the web pageI just learned about a United app where you earn miles for online purchases.

Right now they do not have the issue fixed with the max 8. First it needs to be fixed then it must go through rigorous testing to get the approval from FAA to fly. Right now it is not looking good..We are traveling early February and working on booking a rental car. Do you think these flight changes from the Max 8 will extend into February?
I use the Rapids Rewards Dining. Register the two cards I use for eating out, when I hit one of the participating restaurants I get 4 points per dollar spent. Ended up with 50 points for getting lunch, plus what the CC gives me.I just learned about a United app where you earn miles for online purchases.

I just came in to ask a question related to this - I was wondering whether anyone's done this. So, for what I'm looking at, we're booking 4 tickets. There are 3 seats available at $167, if I go with all 4, they're $179. Our kids are 5 and 7.also keep in mind, the prices fluctuate according to how many you book at one time. it's a bit of work, and stressful, especially if you are trying to book the day they open. i sometimes have 5 on one reservation, and 2 on another just to get the best price. good luck
This is doable for sure. The biggest challenge will be getting boarding passes together unless you purchase EBCI for all. They can be close, especially if you open two Browsers.I just came in to ask a question related to this - I was wondering whether anyone's done this.

What are any potential issues with booking 3 tickets on a reservation, then just 1 ticket on another? For $36 total savings, I was thinking it's probably too much of a headache and another variable that I don't know about any potential complications. What are some difficulties that this would create?

Just an FYI. When Flights opened up for December, I quickly booked. The first non stop flight out of Midway to Orlando was 7:05a so I grabbed it. A few weeks ago I got an email that our flight times changed for both flights, but by only 10 min so no biggie. Decided today to just double check that the flights still showed that they were NOT Max 8, all good. However, I also saw that they added an earlier flight out of Midway, non stop, at 5:50 am. Needless to say, I changed the 7:05a to the 5:50a. It looks like EBCI made it over to the new flight and no money changed hands. A win today!
If you did not pay with points, you will receive a "banked" credit, which must be used (complete travel) within one year of original booking date. To use that credit, you will need to enter the original confirmation number on the payment page, as travel funds. Keep that number in a safe place!If I changed to a Southwest flight that was cheaper, do I receive a credit for the difference the next time I fly? Do I need to do anything to secure this credit?
