I spent the morning trying to decided exactly what day to leave and what time because it will only be a long weekend trip. I finally decided we will be leaving out on Thursday March 6 in the afternoon so I went to Southwest.com to purchase our tickets.
I have been using Southwest now for the last few years since ATA went bankrupt. Anyway I purchased tickets last year then changed my itinerary 0n Feb.28 which left me with a $48 dollar credit (mind you this is MY hard earned $$$). So in booking my tickets today, I went to use my credit. I get a message saying my credit (MY $$$) is no good for this flight. I called the airline to ask why my credit is not working and they informed me that I have to FLY before the date my credit was issued. I was not aware of this, No where did it state I had to Fly before this date I thought the credit was good as long as I used it to purchase tickets before this date. Oh no sister, you are wrong, You just got screwed out of your hard earned $$$. I can hear them now, Bwhahaha...Suckar!!!
I booked the flight anyway because it was the only one fitting into our schedule, but I think I will be booking our return flight home with AirTran and using them from here on because nothing pisses me off more than being screwed out of something that actually belongs to ME!!
Okay just had to vent and get this out. I told the Keeper I will probably be red flagged by the airline now. On the bright side I will be in Florida, just not soon enough.
