I got bumped this summer and got a LUV voucher, which I used to reserve a flight.
Now the price has gone down and I'd like to get a price match.
If I change the reservation to get this new lower price, will the refund come back to my original LUV voucher, or be regular Unused Travel Funds???
Does anyone know?

I was logged into my RR account and booked two one way flights using a LUV voucher.
I have waited an hour, and still the flights are not appearing in my account, under "MY TRAVEL."
I want to book my CP ticket, but can't do so until the flights appear in my upcoming trips.
Is there any reason that flights booked using LUV vouchers will not appear in upcoming travel?
How do I book the CP ticket if the flights aren't there in my account?

I am new to this forum, but came here specifically to find out about some SW vouchers.
We were traveling last month cross country and gave up our seats on our return flight. We were issued close to $500 each (2 of us.)
We would like to travel with our entire family (5) in May. The flights we are looking at are around $350 each. Could we combine the $100 and use it for 3 of our tickets for 3 different people and then just pay the difference?
We also have some miles (around 25,000) so we would like to combine the money and the miles and end up paying not too much in difference.
Thanks.

You can't mix points + a voucher, or points + cash. So one strategy is likely to book 4 people using the 2 vouchers + cash, and a 5th person using points.
Or, since there are numerous advantages to booking one way flights, perhaps you can book all 5 one-way flights using the vouchers, book 2 or 3 of the return one way flights using points, and book whatever else you need using cash.

You can also also convert points (via Airtran conversion) to capacity limited Standard Awards which can sometimes be more economical than straight points purchases.
Once vouchers are used any cancellation will result in travel funds which are tied to the passengers name on the ticket, but points and Awards go back to the account they came from.
So depending on who travels most it could make a difference.
