I noticed if you book using points on SWA, they now require more points for a non-stop flight than a same price trip with stops. Thanks SWA!

The good news is that doesn't appear to be a hard and fast rule - they change the points required for each flight dynamically. I have actually found several 70pt ratio nonstops to Vegas, though of course that limits flexibility. I try to use casino credits to pay for Business Select fares in 'cash' and use my SW points for bargain points routes.
I booked 2 flights to Vegas using points yesterday. Each flight was 12,170 pts. So I used 24,340 and had 24,376. I now have 36 pts in my account lol. Usually I'm short a few points, this time worked out.
I'm new to Southwest credits but I re-booked my out going flight today to Houston for the Coushatta M&G for a $31 credit. Question......let's say I do this multiple times before the flight in Nov, will all the credits be lumped together as a total credit to be used on a future flight (I know it expires 1 yr from date of original booking) or are they considered individual credits with a limit to how many you can use for that future flight? I hope that makes sense, lol!

Never did it but my guess would be that if you rebook the same flight it would add up as they are tied to the original reservation number when you go to use them...but that's just a guess.
So Ken, even if it only goes down like $5 (which is all my return flight dropped) I should go for it because it's the total savings attached to that reservation to be used for future flight, not a limit of "X" amount of credit changes?
