@ Melissa @ Mark -- Whoops, good catch, thank you! Updated the post to reflect that. Awesome.
I booked "Wanna get away" flights last month. Am I able to switch these out with the promo? (assuming the flights are there)
Cancelled points round trip from IND to RNO in September and rebooked. While both fares had gone up the 50% discount still lowed the final price considerably. Great deal.
Made the change yesterday (6/15) for an already-booked itinerary in early October - got initial resistance regarding "new reservations only" but convinced the rep to rebook for me. In the end the change was successful and saved over 30% rewards points for flights for myself and my wife - there was a slight challenge because I waited 90 minutes to talk to an agent, then the re-book was interrupted by the second major Southwest outage in recent days. After a delay of over four hours, and another 90 minute wait to talk, the next rep completed the switch and we were rebooked with big savings on the promotion.
I tried to book a flight without the code and with the code, it was the EXACT SAME PRICE. I made sure to fall within the guidelines and all. SAME PRICE.
Like Brandon I used the promo code and the price at checkout was the EXACT SAME price. There was no 50% disclount and I'm on a 75 minute hold with SWA to see if we can sort this out
