Is there any other way to use the credits before they expire? It does not seem possible to use them at the redemption store (
https://www.southwest.com/rapidrewar...m-more-rewards) or to donate them (I did see this link but never heard back,
http://www.thln.org/?pageID=35799685...F852235D988E28). I also do not have an Airtran FF so some strategies suggested here do not seem to be usable for me.
Is there another way I could use these credits before they expire? Probably not worth doing much more work on this, though kind of sad to be leaving money on the table. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
If you set up an AirTran A+ Rewards account at
https://www.aplusrewards.com/aplus/rewards_request.aspx, you can then transfer over your two credits. The transfer should be almost immediate.
At that point, you have a few options before the credits expire.
*As little as one credit can be donated to a listed charity
https://www.aplusrewards.com/aplus/r...s_request.aspx
*Extend the credits for one year @$29+tax, per credit
https://tickets.airtran.com/RewardExtendCredit.aspx
*Transfer to another A+Rewards account @$19 per credit

An upgrade certificate can be purchased for four credits and is valid for use within one year on any domestic FL one-way ticket.
