Happy to report that my DW and I both got emails last night that our rewards were in our account. Our closing dates are not until March 20th and we only received our cards about 3 weeks ago (we activated and used them immediately). We each had 4 certificates in our account and I was able to use my 4 to book our flight down from ISP (for myself, DW, DD, DS). Problem is, there are no flights available with these certificates to return. First day with availability is 3 days after we are returning or one day earlier at 8am...effectively costing us 2 days.
We'll probably save DW's certificates for next year's flights down for our Dream cruise nex August (certificates expire 3/12/12) - assuming they follow the same basic schedule and release August flights in Februaruy we should be okay. We'll have to pay for the reurn flights (which are the same price one-way per person that we paid for our R/T tix last year). Hopefully they come down at some point and we can get credits. Question for you SW experts...if i book today (3/17), and the price drops on say, May 1st, so I get the credits on 5/1. I have until what day to use the credits? Is it based on 3/17, or 5/1? And I have until that expiration date to book a flight, not to travel, correct?
