You won't get PreCheck if the middle name associated with your KTN doesn't match the ticket, but otherwise this isn't a problem.

No it will not cover the full amount. I even tried deleting a working confirmation number and put the non working one in and same error. So it has something to do do with this confirmation number.
Keep in mind that if all 3 credits will not cover the total amount due then you will only be able to use 2 credits plus a credit card. Since you tried using the credit with only one other credit, that does not seem to be the cause of your problem. To troubleshoot the credit you are having a problem with you can verify the credit is valid by entering the information for it here: https://www.southwest.com/travel-funds/
If the credit appears on that screen and looks to be valid you will need to call Southwest to get their assistance applying it towards a reservation.

Someone needs to be the first to try it. Let us know how it goes.
The only disadvantage I can think of is you lock in the name of a specific passenger for the travel credit while a voucher can be used by anyone.

Was it an Anytime or Business Select fare that would be eligible for a cash refund?
You could also enter your name and confirmation number here to see if the full amount is available and just not listed in your account. Sometimes credits do not appear in the account, but are fully usable.

Adding to pay for a reservation? Does the total of all three cover the entire amount due? All 3 are in your name as entered as a passenger?

Are you planning to sleep in a chair at the gate?
You can't "tell Southwest to hold my bags", that's not an option and will lead to problems for you. Similar questions have been asked before and my response is Southwest is not a bag storage company. Purposefully leaving your bag is abusing the system and there is no guarantee of what would happen to your bag. You do what you want. I'm still just puzzled about sleeping airside.

Based on the wording in the FAQ on southwest.com you simply provide the name and Rapid Rewards number of the person you are transferring to and then the credit appears in their account, no other action is required. The rest of your plan seems reasonable. Let us know how it goes.

Does this technically meet the requirements for preboarding? Probably not. Would most people think anything about it if she did preboard? No.
I say skip the EarlyBird and preboard, you are allowed to go with her as her companion.

The promotion required spending on your Chase credit card. Only Chase knows what you spent and only Chase can determine if you get the points. You will not get anywhere contacting Southwest.

You would need to discuss with Chase, they are the ones that determine if you should get the points. Now that the time period has passed it would be good to give Chase a call.

I don't know what specific south Florida destination you had in mind, but there are currently non-stops available from PVD to FLL, TPA, RSW, and MCO.
Routes and schedules change as demand and other business factors change. Sadly, there are only so many planes to go around so not every route that looks great can be served. You're welcome to submit your feedback to Southwest, use the contact us link at the bottom of this page and send a message.

Here's the press release.
Southwest had quietly renamed travel funds as travel credits when they introduced the Wanna Get Away Plus fare.

There do not appear to be any non-stops between New Orleans and Oakland so a child age 5-11 could not fly unaccompanied, but a child age 12 or older could fly alone. Tickets for most routings on this Saturday are available, albeit a little more expensive than they probably are if booked ahead of time if a different adult wanted to fly with the child.

As long as the name on the reservation matches your identification you are good to go.

If you can't locate the reservation on this page of the Southwest site then you may want to call Southwest immediately to confirm the reservation exists.

It is handy to add a Rapid Rewards number to the reservation, that will link it to the flyer's account and show when logged into southwest.com or on the app. Everyone flying should get a RR account and start earning RR points.

You can request an escort gate pass at the full service check-in counter if you want to accompany the child to the gate or meet them at the gate. There is no requirement to do so since a 14 year old is too old to be an unaccompanied minor and there is no drop off/pick up process. I'm not sure where you listed yourself as a parent, but again, there's no process or checks in place for a 14 year old flying. At that age they are treated like an adult and Southwest does nothing different for them. It is up to Southwest's discretion to issue the escort pass, but I've never heard of anyone having trouble getting one.
A child under age 18 does not need an ID to pass through security, but if they have one from school it would be good to take along just in case there is any question about age.
Lastly I would suggest that with some discussion beforehand most teenagers can easily and safely navigate an airport on their own. Southwest employees and other airport staff can answer questions as needed. With some cash to buy food and some basic info about how airports work almost anyone can enjoy the experience. I've talked to numerous people who were nervous, but thrilled when they first flew alone as a child and they are much better travelers now because of the experiences they had.

Gates are not often determined very far ahead of time. You'll find the most accurate gate information when you get to the airport. If gate information is shown, it will be on the boarding pass, not the screen you posted.

It's rough to consider Southwest is dropping the ball when they could just do away with the whole extension/conversion process all together as it is an unwritten policy. I get that your frustrated, but to grill Southwest over something they do to try to be nice is a bit harsh.

There have been numerous comments in the past about the size limits for bikes. Anything between 62" and 80" is considered oversized, anything over 80" will not be accepted. I'd suggest you send your feedback directly to Southwest, use the contact us link at the bottom of the page and send a message, then book with another airline.
