Problem is, I have young kids who most likely can't be vaccinated anytime soon so as much as I want to fly, they can't. From what I read, if I book a flight with the funds and cancel before the flight, the new fund expires at the earliest expiration of the original funds. Or if they've already expired, it's $100/fund to convert to a voucher. My question is, what if I rebook a flight instead of cancelling? For example, say I have: Fund A - $50 - expires 7/1/21 Fund B - $60 - expires 10/1/21 Fund C - $70 - expires 11/1/21 I use all three to book a flight for 6/30/21. Then on 6/29/21, I try to move the flight to 12/1, same airports and route, just different dates. What would happen to the funds? Would they still be applied towards the 12/1 flight price or would I pay the difference as if I didn't have any fund? Well if you use all three of your funds to buy the ticket, then cancellation would yield a 7/1/21 expiration date. What would happen if I rebook instead cancel? Or is rebook the same as cancel + buy when it comes to funds? (I thought they were different) Lastly, has anyone been able to combine multiple funds into a single voucher and only pay $100 once? I'd be ok with the $100 fee per voucher but per fund it wouldn't make sense. Sure, use all three of the funds to buy a ticket. Then cancel that ticket. You will have turned three travel funds into one larger fund. Of course so simple! Is the $100 fund to voucher conversion part of the official Southwest rules somewhere? As in has anyone ever been denied? Given that this consolidation would mean it'll all expire on 7/1, I don't want to risk it if there's a chance I can't get a voucher.
