I'm in similar situation but my funds are going to expire in a few more months.

 

To buy and then cancel, do i need to buy a certain class of tickets?  Can i buy the cheapest "Wanna Get away" ticket? 

 

You can buy any type of ticket you want - from cheapest to most expensive.

 

Would SW charge cancellation fee?  When cancelling, do i pick "Hold for Future use"?

 

Southwest never charges cancellation fees. If you use trvel funds to buy a ticket, an then cancel   that ticket, you will receive travel funds and the only option will be hold for future use.

 

Thanks.

I simply want to use my "tickets" to travel during a time where it is actually allowed.  The "best" they can do for me is that I'd incur a $200 dollar "penalty" to extend the travel fund out by six months.

You can use two travel funds to buy one ticket and then cancel that ticket. That would cut the fee to $100.
