I am planning a trip with a family group and want to get tickets early. If I do that and prices drop, SW will credit the group for future flights. (which most wont ever use). I believe the tickets booked with points would have a reduction in points used for that passenger and not a "future" credit. If thats all true...can I book the passengers that wont be able to use their credit with points?..and then book mine and wifes (points holder) with cash (as we will use Southwest within a year). Confusing?? Hope not Thanks, Rick

Hmmmm...interesting! Thanks for you responses.. Can early boarding be puchased at the gate if upgraded boarding is full in the A list? It wouldnt be as early as if I had puchased it before the flight but might be early enough to keep a group together-ish. Also, is the "upgrade" on the Credit Card a one time- one way (one stop) thing or is it for all the legs of a round trip? Rick

"New to the Card!" I'm planning a trip with the family and hoping to use the card (and points) to buy as many tickets as I can for myself and others (possible right?). With this card I get 4 uprade boardings per year, so I can use them all on one roundtrip for 4 passengers? Of course this only applies if there is room in the A1-A15 Catagory (purchased at the gate and refunded back to the card later). Do I need to puchase the early boarding for those 4 (or anytime I fly with an available upgrade), just in case theres no room in the A group? Would I get refunded the early boarding fee if I get the upgrade? It would seem kinda silly to be put in the back of the line if theres no room in the A group and I can't get a refundable early boarding assignment. Can anyone clarify all of this?? Thanks, Rick
