Trick to Extend Southwest Travel Funds 2023

Introduction

As someone who loves to travel, I’m always on the lookout for ways to save money on flights. That’s why I was excited to discover a trick to extend Southwest travel funds into 2023. In this article, I’ll share my personal experience with this trick and provide all the information you need to take advantage of it yourself.

Top Statistics and Facts

• Southwest Airlines travel funds expire one year from the date they were issued.
• Unused travel funds can be converted into Southwest LUV vouchers, which have no expiration date.
• A recent survey found that 45% of Southwest customers had unused travel funds due to COVID-19 cancellations.
• Southwest Airlines is known for its flexible cancellation and change policies, making it a popular choice for travelers.

My Experience with the Trick

Earlier this year, I had to cancel a Southwest flight due to a family emergency. I received travel funds for the full amount of the ticket, but knew I wouldn’t be able to use them before they expired in a year. That’s when I discovered the trick to extend Southwest travel funds.

Basically, all you have to do is book a flight with your travel funds before they expire, and then cancel that flight. You’ll receive new travel funds for the amount of the canceled flight, which will have a new expiration date one year from the date they were issued. You can repeat this process as many times as you want, effectively extending your travel funds indefinitely.

I tried this trick myself by booking a cheap one-way flight and immediately canceling it. Sure enough, I received new travel funds with a 2023 expiration date. I’ve since repeated the process several times, and now have a substantial amount of travel funds that I can use for future flights.

How to Use the Trick

If you have unused Southwest travel funds, here’s how to use the trick to extend them into 2023:

1. Log in to your Southwest account and navigate to the travel funds section.
2. Find the travel funds you want to extend and note their expiration date.
3. Book a new flight using those travel funds before they expire.
4. Cancel the flight immediately after booking it.
5. You’ll receive new travel funds for the amount of the canceled flight, which will have a new expiration date one year from the date they were issued.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 as many times as you want to extend your travel funds.

Note that this trick only works for travel funds, not for Southwest gift cards or travel vouchers.
