If you've already bought EB, since EB is non-refundable, you're basically locked into the flight unless the price drops by more than $25.

Unless it has changed eb should carry over if you change your flight (not cancel and rebook) to get a lower fare.

Can I buy it all 4 tickets at the same time with my platinum and they will code as 4 $49 flights or will it post as a $196 transaction and not get reimbursed? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks

I believe they should be separate transactions.

Previously, my charges were listed on AMEX as "Southwest Airlines - Dallas TX" and I've received the reimbursments.

Just made a purchase using travel funds to bring the ticket to under $100 and the purchase was listed as "$90 Southwest Airlines", with no "Dallas, TX" following.

Has anyone received credit with the charges listed as "Southwest Airlines" and not "Southwest Airlines, Dallas TX"?

Mine looked like that initially, but posted 2 days ago with the Dallas in the transaction line. However, when I click on the transaction, I see the ticket details including passenger name and destination, etc. First time it looks like that on my end. Meter has no moved either.

After not getting the credits for two purchases made shortly after I had selected WN, I elected to try again.

I did $103.80 on 12/30 at approximately 11pm Amex time (Phoenix). This was an Anytime fare (supplemented with travel funds)
I also did $63.88 at the same time. (WGA fare).

I canceled the $63.88 after 20 hours

Both transactions posted on 12-31. On 1-1, the WN refund for $63.88 posted and was backdated to 12/31. On 1/3, both Amex credits posted, backdated to 1/2, $103.88 and one slightly less than $63 since that took me to the $250 cap. They both posted as 2019 credits.

Thanks for the update. Believe this is the first DP on meter movement for 2020.

Yes, the one transaction posted on 1/2 for the remaining $99.96 from “Southwest Airlines DALLAS TX”.

Update: So I purchased two tix on sw for about 93$ each on 12/28 and it posted on 12/29. Today, I still see no reimbursement listed and my meter says $200 to spend til dec 2020. I hope it wasn't because I bought tickets immediately after selecting my airline since I opened the card on 12/26.

That 12/28 purchase would be on your 2019 reimbursement, not 2020, so you won’t be able to see it. Did you make two separate transactions for the two tickets?

Tim Pham Jan 4, 2020 4:22 pm

yeah, I purchased two separate tickets.
