Fare purchases are not credited. If they were, no one would bother with gift cards.

Another DP for Hilton Aspire:
4/10ish - Requested switch from AA to SW as a courtesy after AA started having issues. Granted due to long relationship (1981) w/ Amex. (Showed up immediately as Southwest.)
4/15 - Purchased $250 eGC
4/15 - Went pending for quite some time and was never emailed (48+ hours -- instead of the "up to 12"). So contacted Southwest on Twitter who said can take 72 hours but "pushed it through."
4/18 - eGC arrived. purchase posted.
4/19 - $250 credit issued & counter set to $0 available.

had selected AA earlier this year before I found out GCs were not longer working.
4/23 called Amex to update from AA to WN, not an issue because the fee credit hadn't been utilized.
4/24 purchased $250 GC from link in WIKI
4/26 purchase went from pending to posted (backdated to 4/24)
4/27 $250 fee credit hit account (backdated to 4/26)

Booooo
4/25 - Selected Southwest as airline
4/25 - Purchased $200 eGC
As of 5/04, nothing. Benefits bar is still at $200 and no credit.
My turnaround time after selecting the airline was like 15 minutes. Probably too quick.
