Gift certificates

This is slightly OT but I have an AirTran gift certificate I puchased 2 years ago during a promo and still have funds left to use - since I fly both AirTran and Southwest - former mainly because of the GC and latter because of some pretty good last minute deals I've found, I was wondering if/when I can apply that certificate towards Southwest travel - well, the AirTran website clearly states they cannot be exchanged for Southwest gift cards:

•AirTran Gift Certificates are not exchangeable or redeemable for Southwest Airlines gift cards.

It also states they do not expire:

•Gift Certificates do not expire.

Now, that is clear, however, when AirTran seizes to exist in couple of years or so and I still have funds in that certificate, what do I do then?

I'm a little better off than most of you since your vouchers do expire - mine technically doesn't but I'm concerned because over the 2 years I've had it, I wasn't able to use all of it and still have money in it that I don't want to lose. I'd rather get a lot of these issues resolved sooner rather than later but given how slow Southwest has been about integrating everything, I'm not gonna hold my breath.
