Does it matter if flight purchase less than $100 made on website or the southwest app? Guidance on this would be appreciated as I have purchased a flight using the southwest app and only realized now to check if it matters or not... ?

12/29: Bought 4 one way tickets under $100
12/30: Transactions posted
12/31: Under Benefits section, it says "You have used all of your $250 Airline Fee Credit for this year.It will renew again starting Jan 2020"

Waiting for credits to actually post. Which I'm assuming will be the next business day.. Was able to use the remaining credits for 2019 and will get a new set of credits for 2020...

Any DPs of this not working for flights <$100? Looks like a few folks are still waiting, but I haven't seen any DPs of someone not getting reimbursed at all?

unless you have immediate need for WN TF and fly often, i dont understand the people rushing to buy <$100 fares in the new year. amex may close the loophole soon and thats a valid concern, but that also means your WN TF will expire at the end of 2020. and judging from all these last minute posters, there are plenty here who already have TF from only a few days/weeks ago which would also expire at the end of 2020. so now you have double the amount to spend with PAX restrictions. im gonna take my chances and wait. i hate expiring credits.

So when do I cancel tickets? Once I get the credit or I can do it once 24 hours are done?

You can cancel 1 second after booking the flight. Just make sure to select "hold for future use" for the reimbursement method.

Not sure if this will be useful for anyone but if you have multiple travel funds under $100, you can actually then use them to purchase a more expensive fare and that way you will only have to keep track one of confirmation number rather than multiple ones.

Example:
Travel Funds #1 : $99
Travel Funds #2 : $99
Travel Funds #3 : $99

Purchase a $297 ticket and use the above funds to do it. It won't have any impact on your expiration date but might be a little easier to keep track of for some.

I had read somewhere that by using the funds to purchase a ticket and you cancel again, your new funds will be the date of your latest purchase. I am not sure if I read the post/blog correctly, or maybe that loophole was closed. I heard that SW was allowing you one cancellation to get this informal extension on your credit.
