Some companies will consolidate gift cards into one card, for no charge.
I've done it at Macy's and at Wal*Mart. I don't know if SWA will do it, but
it would solve the problem if they perform this service.
Since the SWA cards have a PIN, you might even be able to do this over the
phone, or online.

That is good news-maybe with the recently required fare
disclosures they added a payment slot(my experience was from November
2011). Theoretically, it would then be possible to burn 8 gift cards with 2
one ways.

The policy may have been different earlier, but 3 gift cards & a credit

suggestion to go one-way to maximize gift cards came from Southwest &
they
didn't mention a 2-card limit. It would be nice if someone were to try
it &
report back. I still have a bunch of cards but they're already committed.

Sat Feb 25, 2012 1:55 pm (PST)To clarify-
There are only 3 payment slots with South West.
If any gift card/fare credit does not over the total fare due on the
1st
payment slot, then a second gift card/fare credit can be used on the
2nd
payment slot. If there is still a balance due, the 3rd payment slot can
be a
gift card/fare credit only if it covers the entire fare balance due.
Otherwise, you will need to use a credit card for the 3rd payment
slot(and use you
gift card/credit on another ticket)
Buying one-way tickets allows you to use up more gift cards/fare
credits.
