Now great news, if you have leftover travel funds sitting in your Southwest account, you can convert them into Southwest points. Typically, these funds expire one year after issued and can only be used by the passenger they originally belonged to. Since the pandemic began, the expiration date has been extended to September 2022. But now, you can transfer these vouchers to Southwest points as well.
Couple of notes, you will still have to pay the taxes and fees on your original ticket. Of course, you don't get the points for flying and the converted points DO NOT count towards the companion pass.
But if you don't think you are going to fly, then it might make sense.
You will need to do the conversion by December 15th 2020 and it is not reversible.
