I believe that both of us supported the user's original comment.
Yes, with more competition the price goes down. Yes, we celebrate that observation and both are raising our glasses in toast!
It was great insight. Not sure what your concern is, however, we both supported the OP.

Has flown with this great airline since 737-300 days. Do trust me. The list of payments is whichever flight credit typed first regardless of price.
Sometime multple flight credits per credit. Wishes we could combine them to
make a single to overcome 3 method of payment.

When you preboard, a designation "PBD" or similar is printed on the boarding pass and also appears on the app based boarding pass.

By law, the answer is a definitive YES that such overwater flights carry both life rafts and life preservers or floatations to accommodate each occupant:
(a) No person may take off an airplane for a flight over water more than 50 nautical miles from the nearest shore unless that airplane is equipped with a life preserver or an approved flotation means for each occupant of the airplane.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, no person may take off an airplane for flight over water more than 30 minutes flying time or 100 nautical miles from the nearest shore, whichever is less, unless it has on board the following survival equipment:
(1) A life preserver, equipped with an approved survivor locator light, for each occupant of the airplane.
(2) Enough liferafts (each equipped with an approved survival locator light) of a rated capacity and buoyancy to accommodate the occupants of the airplane.
14 CFR § 91.509 - Survival equipment for overwater operations.
FAA Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR) Title 14—Aeronautics and Space
Each life raft is also required to have an attached survival kit.

I have not seen nor heard of any plan or proposal to permit up to three credit card payments per air fare transaction. A possible workaround would likely be to book two separate cheaper flights with the second and third credit cards but cancel these and use the flight credits plus the first credit card toward the purchase of the real flight.
Also split the trip into one-ways.

Does FBI know about checking your flight everyday to get flight credit?
Does not want to look suspicious
There's nothing illegal or suspicious about checking Southwest's Low Fare Calendar daily for fare decreases. I check this frequently for both my airfare and Southwest Hotels reservations and have locked in some decent flight credits, fare and square!
That's the beauty of Southwest's No Change Fees policy. As long as you're using the airline system for lawful activity, there's nothing wrong with checking for fare changes everyday to receive flight credit when prices drop.
That being said, if federal law enforcement like the FBI suspects one is using the airline system to conduct separate illegal activity, of course they will investigate the matter and airlines like Southwest will fully cooperate with the federal law enforcement agency in question in providing information related to the person's trip in question. Same for the state and local level.

I forget from an earlier thread did someone say they did successfully same day change their flight in order to have a long layover somewhere to visit a boyfriend or something?
In that case it was booked as a standard connection and then adjusted on the same day to extend the layover into a stop over.

If you are asking in hopes Southwest would offer such a pass I highly doubt it even after the last December mess planes are still booked to capacity (at least most of the 100 segments/64 one ways I have taken) this year have been full or almost full
If they did a pass like that they would probably get bad PR for never having available flights day of (to popular destinations)

If you change flghts, you get a new boarding spot, whatever it may be, when you check in
If A56 on that new flight had also just changed their flight, it could be given to you if the timing was perfect as the spots are re-used.
But the more likely outcome is a much later boarding position.
If you are A-list though then you can board at "A61" position between A and B groups even if you have a B or C position. (And it says A-list on your boarding pass)

Have to check the original receipt email.
Or I think it will show you the total to be canceled and give you one last chance to change your mind but I'm not 100%, I vaguely recall that you select everything to cancel a flight and then at the end it says $XXX to travel credit and you can confirm that you want to cancel.
Although funny thought - what if the buttons are "yes" and "cancel" - yes I want to cancel the flight. Oh no I just canceled the cancellation instead. It would turn into a Monty Python skit.

nasa has ideas for a 30 minute flight which usually takes 12 hours at 150,000 feet.
Fingers crossed

That's right - you'll have to look each one up by confirmation number and their own names, the funds will be issued to each passenger for Wanna Get Away fares.

Try to use debit card 0 interest , because a non SWA credit card adds interest in 6 months
Or do as SoCalFlyer97 does. Use the credit card but budget the expenses with the take-home pay income and pay the statement balance at the end of each month if at all possible. SoCalFlyer97 is not a fan of holding expensive credit card debt.

I leave my winter coat in the car. Walking from the parking garage only takes a couple of minutes and I can put up with the cold for the sake of not having to lug a coat around.
People have certainly seen me waiting in the vestibule at Economy Parking garage at MDW without any coat since I was headed somewhere warm and wouldn't need it.
The main risk of this is for late flights back to MDW sometimes the buses have been off schedule and a long wait and long line, and you can't wait in the vestibule going in that direction or you'll never board while there's a long line. In that case one time I called an uber, went out to the median and yelled over towards the line "who wants a ride to the economy garage?" and actually had a pilot hop out of line to ride over with me. Glad to help him get back to his home earlier!

Got it this is why the date on boarding pass
Yep...The date of the flight is also part of the confirmation number embedded in the barcode data. That means if one has two separate bookings from SAN-LAS for example, one in the fall and one in the spring and the passenger saved the fall boarding pass as a souvenir following the fall trip, its barcode will 'bonk' and not work for the later spring trip; the separate boarding pass issued for the spring trip is to be used.

I had same issue with never getting a confirmation email. I wanted to cancel the hotel room but the hotel said I had to go through SW (ie Bookings). I paid extra at time of reservation in order to have a refundable room (with covid out there I was worried I might need to cancel or something else might come up--which did). I used the concierge phone number provided above and got an AI bot asking for my confirmation number which I don't have. I kept keying in 0 and after several go rounds the AI gave me a live person to talk to. She confirmed it was a refundable room reservation since I was cancelling several days before the deadline. She asked several questions and cancelled the reservation (for which I did get a confirmation email). I have used SW hotels in the past without a problem. I won't use SW Hotels again without saving a PDF or screen shot of the reservation screen. I have been using SW hotels in order to get the Rapid Reward points btw.
