RR awards are best for trips that you might need to cancel.

If you book a WGA (nonrefundable) fare and cancel, and if you don't have another trip happening before the funds expire, you can sell those funds at perhaps 80% to 85% of face value. Southwest does not prohibit that, although they correctly point out the risk to buyers if the seller is a scammer.

It all depends on the probability of making the final four. Do you feel lucky?
