Hello, Tuesday! “Tuesday” in the travel realm of the US is synonymous with “Southwest sale day” but I am certainly not arguing! I cannot tell you the amount of times I found out I needed to book something and that a Southwest sale just ended. With very frequent sales, or price drops, it means that I can just wait until the next week to grab what I need! Or, if I already booked travel, I can just wait to see if I can change it for free and get points or a credit back!

Check Your Already-Booked Reservations For Price Difference
So, now is the time to search for your tickets within this sale and see if you have a better price available now than when you had booked it. If the price has dropped, you simply select to change the flight and look at the same dates and flights again. Once you go through and confirm, you will receive a refund of the difference in miles and the cash for the taxes will be transferred for the new ticket.
In 1 Minute, You Can Have Your Points Back!
The whole process takes less than 60 seconds and you could save a lot of money or points! If you had booked your ticket in the past using cash, you will receive a refund in the form of a credit that is usable for 1 year from the time you originally booked the ticket. If you booked it with points, you will receive the points back in your account for the difference.
