Travel Funds

When flights are canceled, why are travel funds equally distributed among travelers instead of being credited to the account of the person who charged the fares to their credit card?  This has happened to me twice.

Southwest's rule is that travel funds go to the passenger whose name was on the ticket,

 

but if using a Wanna Get Away Pus fare, that person can give the funds to anybody.

Are you absolutely positive about this?

@ParSWA from southwest.com regarding WGA+:

"If you need to cancel your flight, you can actually transfer your flight credit to someone else, as long as you both have Rapid Rewards® accounts."

 

Can be transferred one time

Take your canceled flight funds book a WGA+ ticket then cancel funds would then be transferable
