    Chuck.com just saved me close to $1K. Albany to Phoenix, Phoenix to San Diego, LA to Albany. Too bad SW doesn’t fly direct from SD to LA. 
    Yeah. Bummer on SD to LA. We are taking Amtrak for $35.  About 3hrs. 
    as long as the trains are running. ..there is an awful lot of delays latey. Cliffs collapsing and all....work on the tracks. Just don't travel up right before the show just in case. 
    Yeah. We are travelling the off day between shows. Don't want to mess this one up.

    Worked great! Found another loophole if interested, please read!

    We wanted to fly mid June, just beyond the 14 day window. So we booked end of May, changed it 2 weeks out. Went back, clicked change flights again and it created another 14 day window based on the new flight.
    I assume you could do this any number of times and book flights throughout the summer maybe?
    Yes. That is also pro tip. You can "bridge" the 14 days at a time. Nice job. 
    Where’s my gold star?

    Once you book a flight outside the window it stops working.

    Not 100% sure I follow...you booked something today outside of 4/14-6/6?. If so, just cancel and start over. If it was >24 hours ago you can cancel and at least use the travel funds to rebook. Give me your specifics.

    I have a flight booked on 4/12 for 11,652.  Canceled it. I found & booked a flight on 4/02 for 2,463. Clicked on the banner of the newly booked flight on the second but didn’t get the red text at the top of the page... I followed your instructions and was able to save on my other three flights, but this one is giving me fits! lol. THANKS FOR THE HOOK UP! Chuck.com

    Phx to San.... can't get the $45... only $79, that's the cheapest but that's good on Easter Sunday... and esp at a prime time.

    You have to book a flight from 4/14-6/6 to start. The 4/2 flight can't be changed for free. But you can change a 4/16 flight to 4/2.

    Just saved $162 on flight from Chicago to Denver. If it’s still running tomorrow I’m flying to Nashville and then St Louis rather than driving because of this. Thanks!

    Got it, I think I was delirious! I saved a TON of points on 4 flights, canceled an award on a different airline & booked at a MUCH lower award point with SWA. Thank you Chuck!

    Is there a way to tell over the next couple days whether this deal is still active? (Is there a message on one of the screens before making the purchase.)
