SW Travel Awards (XVP)

I was thinking I had heard that if your travel award was expiring, you could pay a fee and extend the time to use it. But I can't find this covered in the Web site "RR Rules." Did that option go away? Or, did I dream it?

I've done it three times over the past year & a half...two times for the same ticket. Last time was maybe 6 months ago...have heard nothing about it being eliminated.

How much was the fee for extending the date of the award and how long was the extension?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the Southwest website
http://www.southwest.com/rapid_rewards/rr_program_faq.html

Q: If I am unable to use my Award within 12 months, is it possible
to have my Award reissued?

A: Yes, an Award may be reissued for a $50 fee. We will only
consider reissuing Awards that have been expired less than 24
months. Members can request an Award reissue and pay for the fee(s)
by credit card:

*online through the MySouthwest® section of southwest.com
*through our toll-free Rapid Rewards number,1 800-445-5764
*at any Southwest Airlines Ticket Counter

Thanx for the information. I looked all through the Rules, but didn't think about checking FAQ. So I am not losing my mind!!!!

If anyone has a SWA RR award that is nearing expiration, I would be
willing to purchase it. Please send private email and we can discuss
the particulars.. FWIW, I do *NOT* resell these online so there is no
worry about getting 'busted' by SWA.
