I bought beau coup tickets during the three day sale, ending yesterday. Almost all prices went up today. So, logically, the tickets I bought are a much better deal than trying to rebook just for 2x points.
But good if you are still looking to book some fares (if you can find good prices).
If you already have a flight booked, can you cancel, then re-book and get these bonus points? Or will the Southwest system track the original flight and then same itinerary on a re-booked ticket? I will be testing this out.
