With these giftcards: If you buy a ticket, and then need to change your ticket, does the amount paid easily go back to your Southwest account as a credit for another ticket? Does it act just like as if you paid cash for the original ticket?
(I realize they won't credit money back to the credit card used to purchase the original ticket; just want to make sure it's no more difficult to change a Southwest ticket bought with a gift card, compared to a credit card. Want to purchase for someone whose Southwest flights end up being changed quite frequently.)
My first order of two gift cards with the Citi Costco credit card got cancelled. I placed another order with the same card about twenty minutes later and it looks like it went through. CS said randomly a lot of transactions being canceled and the ones that go through may take 24 hours to receive the gift card codes. Two hours have passed since my approved order and no codes yet.
Maybe BF shopping is overwhelming the CC transaction processing. I have several orders getting canceled because they couldn't process my CC while other goes through just fine on the same CC. Some of the orders I re-order and they went through fine. But some of the cancelled orders, I decided it was a good thing the order didn't go through and did not re-order.
Does anyone know if there's a limit to how many giftcards you can use on the southwest website per order? I've been burned before buying a bunch of giftcards and only 1 or 2 can be used per order...
Southwest gift cards – A maximum of three Southwest gift cards can be applied per passenger on each reservation. If your purchase exceeds the amount available on the three Southwest gift cards, you will only be allowed to use two Southwest gift cards and another form of payment will be required for the difference

SW GC and Fandango GC. Don't see 50 off of 500 on my cart. Am I missing something?
Not sure if the discount deal (over $500) is valid any more. I had some stuff in my cart last night, went to checkout today and no discount. Checking again using 3 nintendo GC directly from the link and no discount even though the total is well over $500.

Tried buying with the freedom flex for the 5% in points. I get a purchase confirmation then 10 minutes later get an email saying purchase was cancelled. Anyone else getting this? Last time I checked Costco.com still accepts Mastercard.
