When you book a flight and pay with points can you rebook if the price goes down and recieve a credit? I've always done this when paying cash and was wondering if you can do the same when paying with points. Thanks!

Yes, you can rebook it. I did it and the points go back to your account. In fact, if you book a flight for someone else the points still go back to your account.

I just booked a flight on Southwest. The lady on the phone told me it was up to the pilot where we we're going. Should I be worried????

Nope. Just because the SW pilot tries (and thru some miracle, actually is succesful) to land on a 3,700 ft runway, on a wooded bluff, at night, at the wrong airport, is no reason to worry.

They do this all the time !

Double points are awarded if your pilot attempts to land on a 2,000 ft or shorter runway.

We am going to SLC in Feb. Maybe they can do a stopover in Park City and let us out

Yes, I did it a few months ago. They do charge you a small fee for making the change (like $5 maybe).

But paying that fee subtracted over 4000 points off my original reservation.
