Boarding Pass "free play"

""Just book a dummy SW ticket the day before you arrive, checkin and screenshot the boarding pass then cancel for full refund.   Takes all of about two minutes.   Problem solved"". 

 

I take it you never did this yourself?  Otherwise you would have learned that you do not get a refund on your airfare, but instead a credit that you have to use within 1 year.   

 

The refund law for cancellations for tickets purchased if cancelling withing 24 hours does NOT hold if the reservation is for a flight less than 7 days in the future.

Book it with points.   Did it myself numerous times.   They DO refund the $5.60 fee to your credit card and it doesn't matter if it's within seven days of travel.
