Hi all,
I recently registered for Southwest's 3000 point bonus for a roundtrip flight to/from SNA. I booked a roundtrip from SNA-SFO during the promotion period, and I have already flown the outbound to SFO. Unfortunately, I was unable to make the return so I had to cancel it.
If I got to rebook the return--using the left over flight credit--will I still receive the 3000 bonus points?
Thanks!

suggestion would be..............if it doesn't post automatically once you rebook, fly and within 10 days post to your acct, I WOULD, call the RR CS, and give them "my point of view" in a very charming and pleasant way. They've always posted "manually" for me.......(maybe I've had to call a couple times to get the RIGHT answer), but you should be fine either way. I KNOW someones going to post that they called RR CS and "didn't get what they wanted", BUT I think they didn't try multiple times, or present their view the "correct" way good luck

with the way their new system works, you'll only get the bonus credits posted if you use up the original remaining funds before the end date of the promo offer.
rebooking a new ticket counts as using up the original funds it--you don't need to fly.
PS: somewhat unrelated but I wanted to caution other users: an unfortunate thing with the new system is that if you have a TON of points due to you from flying the outbound, and don't return or refare causing a few dollars to sit unused, if the funds expire you will never see a single RR point for that outbound flight.

One of several reasons to book one-ways instead of RTs.
