Basic Fare Using Points for Someone Else Question
When I fly, I book BASIC fare using points. If the price goes down, I cancel and and get the points and fees back.

What if I book for my son and he is flying by himself. I assume it will work the same way. And I will get my points and the $5.60 fees back if I cancel when the price goes down.

I know he won't get the SW credit card benefits like choose seat at 48hrs that I would get. But them are the breaks for a free flight!
