I then had to cancel the flight for real reasons, by southwest credited my upgrades back to the platinum. I.e. not the original form of payment. Makes me wonder if you can buy flight credits with the platinum then remove the credit card from your profile, add another, then credit them back over there. Avoiding the chargeback on your platinum account. I’ll try this when I get some time.
not sure how I got the above to trigger. But didn’t work the second time the same way.
I used a flight credit to buy a ticket. Then charged the upgrade to Amex. (Which correctly posed and was reimbursed). I deleted all the cards on my WN account. Added a different one and cancelled everything. Credit reapplied to Amex (as it should. But didn’t last time).
Not sure what the glitch was and why it didn’t work the same way this time. I wonder if it’s cause I partially paid for the original ticket with flight credit and Amex. But that doesn’t really make sense either.
