There are thousands of people in your position. I urge Southwest to give you all the same break that those of us who used the "book and cancel" trick got.
Yes I just learned about the book with funds and cancel trick. I don't think it was well thought out... or maybe WN did not realize the extent of lasting infection.
Either ways, it's been more than 2 months past September and WN should have done something abt it unless they are plainly out to get their customers money.
Edit - Datapoint: Their twitter support pretty much admitted to this loophole but can't do anything about it now. Other reports show same results for emailing Customer Relations.
