Understanding refund on LUV vouchers

[kbs915]

I can't find a recent, concrete answer on this...We have two LUV vouchers that expire Dec 8, 2024. We are 50/50 on taking a trip in November 2024.

1. If we end up booking flights in Nov with these LUV vouchers and end up NOT taking the trip (or changing the trip), will they be refunded to travel funds without expiration dates or will they still have the expiration date of Dec 8th?

2. And just to be clear, you can use a LUV voucher for anyone (not just the person it was issued to but a refund could only be used by the person whose name was on the ticket for the used LUV voucher?

3. And lastly...anyone know if the current promotion of booking two one way tickets (or a roundtrip) by today would qualify with booking with LUV vouchers?

Thanks!

All trvel funds have no epiration date.

That is correct. If a WGA+ flight is refunded it comes witha trasfeerable flfight credit.

If it's a WGA ticket  it is not trasferable.

3. And lastly...anyone know if the current promotion of booking two one way tickets (or a roundtrip) by today would qualify with booking with LUV vouchers?

They sure do.  

ith money qualifies.

Thanks!

So LUV vouchers now will always be refunded as unexpired travel funds, correct?

Vouchers used to buy tickets that are then canceled will result in travel funds that do not expire.

if you book a WGA ticket with a voucher you lose the transferability of the voucher, however you will not have an expiration date you can always book WGA+ to keep the transferability down the road should you need to use the funds on someone else later 

also if you book a flight with the voucher it won’t cover taxes but you can book a flight pay the taxes immediately cancel and get a refund of the taxes to your Credit card and those travel funds will actually cover the taxes when you rebook so yes it’s an extra step to book cancel and rebook but that way it’s no actual money out of your pocket unless the voucher won’t cover the ticket cost 

now with the promotion going on yes using the voucher will still count but remember you must register then book by tonight then fly by November 20th complete both flights
