using Ticketless Travel Funds
I have 77 dollars worth of TTF, expiring in June. To my understanding, I will loose the money if I don't use it for SW "airline" ticket ONLY for "me" as the passenger ONLY. Well, I don't have any plans for travel.
My question is, is there a way I can save this money for future use. What happens if I book a dummy reservation for lets say oct (way past my ticket's expiration date), and then cancel the reservation in sept ?
To my understanding, I can't use these funds for someone else, like my wife (the change in SWA policy Jan 2011)
Thanks for reading

Unfortunately, the change in policy means those funds are essentially locked to you. If it were a substantially larger amount, there would be some residual value if you let them expire, then resurrected them, but the fee will use up basically all your credit.
One of the bad changes introduced over the last couple years.
