Yes, technically you can sell your Southwest Airlines travel voucher, as there are online marketplaces and forums where people buy and sell travel vouchers. However, you should be aware of Southwest's policies and potential risks. According to Southwest Airlines' terms and conditions, travel vouchers (often issued as LUV Vouchers) are non-transferable and are intended for use by the original recipient. Selling or transferring a voucher may violate these terms, and Southwest reserves the right to void the voucher if they detect unauthorized use or transfer. If you choose to sell it, proceed with caution, as both you and the buyer could face issues if Southwest enforces this policy.
Additionally, be mindful of scams when selling vouchers online. Only deal with reputable platforms or buyers, and avoid sharing sensitive personal information.
Typically, yes, the buyer would need access to the name associated with the voucher because Southwest Airlines ties vouchers to the original recipient's name and Rapid Rewards account (if applicable). When redeeming a travel voucher, the user often needs to provide the voucher number and sometimes confirm the name it was issued under during booking or at check-in. This means that the buyer may need to know your name or have the voucher reissued in their name (which Southwest generally does not allow).
However, policies can vary depending on the type of voucher (e.g., LUV Voucher, travel funds from a canceled flight, or promotional credit). Some vouchers might be redeemable without strict name verification during the online booking process, but Southwest could still request identification or account details at any point. To be safe, check the specific terms of your voucher on Southwest's website or contact their customer service for clarification.
If you’re considering selling, you might want to inform the buyer that using the voucher could be complicated due to the name association, and there’s a risk it might not be honored if Southwest detects a transfer.
