The overwhelming response from Customers who took advantage
of our August 3 limited time offer created website
performance issues at various times during the weekend. Our
Employees worked tirelessly to resolve the issue and have
confirmed that the duplications are no longer occurring. By
initiating an "all hands on deck" approach, we
have identified all Customers impacted and proactively
initiated refunds back to their financial institutions for
any erroneous bookings. These refunds are currently being
processed, but timing will vary depending on the individual
bank. If a refund has not yet posted to your account, we
recommend contacting your bank - they will be able to
provide the quickest update regarding pending refunds.
Here is an overview of our current efforts:
-
All erroneous bookings have been identified and refunds
are currently being processed for all Customers impacted
with duplicate bookings.
-
We have heard Customer concerns regarding cancellation of
their original reservation and have instructed our
Employees to restore the itinerary, honoring the original
fare.
-
For those Customers who used debit cards and have
received overdraft fees as a result of the additional
charges, we will process a reimbursement for all
overdraft fees that were caused by duplicate charges from
Southwest for a single purchase. If you incurred
overdraft fees, please fax documentation of those fees
via a letter from your bank or a copy of your account
showing the fees to 877-506-0154.
Southwest Airlines is committed to providing Customers with
exceptional service both online and onboard. Our goal was
to resolve this issue as quickly as possible to minimize
any inconvenience to you, our valued Customers. We will
continue to work with each of you on any outstanding issues
you may be experiencing.www.southwest.com/contact-us/contact-us.html
