I will try to contact them again to see if I get a customer service rep who actually want to retain business. Can't wait to spend another 3hrs on hold. If I get denied again then last ditch would be to try the book and cancel method.

Yes agreed which is what I intended on doing. Because of SW ticket automation and a booking agent not logging notes my email sent prior to funds expiring asking what happens to expired funds go interpreted as I need Luv vouchers now. Even after speaking with a rep prior to expiring and her acknowledging my ticket number and advising that I call back requesting funds at a later date(keep in mind that I still could not request these funds because they where not expired at the time we spoke). Lack of communication form SW and email automation screwed me and issued vouchers way to early. Customer service acknowledge the facts and refused to make it right. All it would take to fix this issue would be to let me request the funds when I want to request the funds. Not a hard fix.

Yes funds are out of travel date. Email was sent inquiring what happens to expired travel funds. At not point did I request a Luv voucher. Additionally email was sent before funds where expired. Because SW email automation and a travel agent not logging notes in a ticket I get the burden of the mistake, loosing over a thousand dollars. Customer service agent acknowledged all of this and still would not make right the wrongs that where made. Unacceptable and not way to treat customers.

Hello, I had sent in a email to customer service several days before travel funds expired asking information on if extension could be made to travel credits. After not hearing back in a timely manner I phoned into the main support line and spoke with a representative. I informed them of my email inquiry/case number and explained the situation. She walked me through the Luv voucher option and although it took a #100 from each ticket I didn't loose the $1000 + credit. When she explained the request processes and 6 month expiration date this credit fell outside of my future(and families) future travel date. When what other options where on the table she informed me that it was 6months from the request date and I should call back in 6 months before my desired travel date to send in the request process. Keep in mind all of this was prior to my travel credit expiration and the rep stated several times that even if I wanted to make the request that day, she couldn't do that. Fast forward 20ish days later and I at an automated email from Southwest saying my Luv vouchers where being processed and I should get them emailed shortly. I was confused because I had not filed my request yet. Later that afternoon vouchers where emailed to me with an expiration date that was not in my future travel window. So I phone Southwest and after hours on hold the rep directed me to call another customer service line. The hours to get in contact where tricking and all and all I spent about 6hrs over several phone calls trying to get ahold of them. After I explained the situation to the rep he informed me that this would need to go to a hire level and they would place me on a call back list. 24 hours later I received a call back. After explaining the situation to the manager I was denied an explanation as to why travel credits where issued without my consent. I was told that because of my inquiry email sent prior to the expiration date and because the agent I spoke to did not log any notes in my case number, automation took place and Southwest employees proceeded to convert these expired travel funds into Luv credits, even though the request was never placed by me. Further more I was told I was lucky to be given these funds and that Southwest was doing me a favor by issuing these Luv vouchers without my consent. The facts of the case are this. - Luv vouchers where issued based of an email inquire sent prior to the funds expiring and with no formal request to do this. -Southwest representative failed to log notes on case number causing automation(that should not be in place) to happen. The wrong is very clear and the resolution is simple. All I asked for was to allow me to place the Luv credit request when I wanted to request it. This would have allowed me to use it on my terms and make it possible for these credits to fall within my future travel dates. Southwest customer service refused to right this wrong all while acknowledging the facts. Don't need to get two personal here but all of this travel was booked for my wedding. Now I am doing everything possible find the money to get my Brides mother and two sisters enough money to book tickets for the wedding. 10+ hours on the phone Anyone else think this is ridiculous?
