Tricks to consolidate flight credits
I just found out Southwest doesn't let you use more than 2 travel credits at once. I have like 10, all for small values ($1 or $2). any tricks to consolidate?

Find a very cheap fare to some credits, cancel to get a new larger credit, and repeat. Can also book an award where you're only paying taxes and the amount is small. Discussion: Combine Flight Credits?

It indeed does work like a charm.

in fact, just realized it works to turn non-transferable to transferable credits too as long as use wanna get away plus or higher for this consolidation. Nice!

Yep I just consolidated like 12 of them, was a pain but took less than 30 mins. I usually book cheap inter-island Hawaii flights and then cancel them to combine.
