I have 4 separate travel funds banked and was wondering if the travel fund workaround still works like it did when travel funds used to expire? I'd like to use all 4 funds to purchase my next ticket.

That might not be exactly what you want, but it might accomplish the same thing." In my case passenger B was not a Rapid Rewards Member and still isn't. Do you know if passenger B, after the fact, can enroll for RR membership, receive a RR #, link their new account to their cancelled-ticket funds and then convert to rapid reward points under their new RR Account?

Regarding any purchase especially an On-line purchase... Let the Buyer Beware! Regarding Conversion of Account Funds to Rapid Reward Points here's the Programs qualifying language..... "Travel funds must meet the following qualifications in order to be able to convert funds: Customer must be a Rapid Rewards Member. Travel funds that expire September 7, 2022 or were created by canceling a ticket between March 1, 2020 and September 7, 2020. Funds created after September 7 will hold the standard one year expiration. The first and last name must match what is on their Rapid Rewards Account. Travel fund must originate from ticket purchased on Southwest.com, Southwest Airlines Customer Service Agent, or a Customer Support and Services Representative. " So that blue text does not permit a "fund-to-point" conversion of a ticket for passenger B that was purchase by passenger A within Passenger A's Rapid Reward account. I'd like to know if I am wrong because I purchased 3 tickets (one for me and one each for 2 other passengers) using my Rapid Rewards account and ended up cancelling our reservations due to the Virus. I would love to be able to convert those funds for the other 2 passengers to My Rapid Rewards Points.
