but i now have companion pass so my wife tickets are free

Probably not worth it, because you're likely going to be using it to pay her $5.60 domestic fees on her companion pass tickets. I think (but don't have personal experience) that you can use it on fees for international travel as well, which are a good bit higher. You ought to be able to use a good bit of it - I think I'll have a little over $100 spent on companion fees this year, all domestic.

If travel funds and really are expired, call and get converted to a voucher for a $100 deduction. Then use the 2 x $59.99 towards your ticket and add wife as CP.
Better than a sharp stick in the eye.

Maybe you could book one way flights and use the $$ to pay for a flights instead of using points/CP

Security fees are the best use of these funds, assuming those will total more than $59.99 prior to expiration.

I was just guessing as I have never paid for a WN flight so any cancellations would be refunded in points.
Can the person with the credit buy a flight for someone else ?
I guess if he was going to lose the $$ he could pay for the companions flight ( assuming his credit was enough) and at least get some WN points
