""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.
