Once, when I had to cancel a reservation made with a voucher, they restored the full amount to my account. Note: these are not cash vouchers, but they can be used by you or anyone you designate on a future flight. I have used several vouchers from Southwest Airlines without any difficulty whatsoever.

They will bait-and-switch you on the fares if you tell them upfront. In my experience, give them the city pares, dates of travel and preferably the flight numbers/times that correspond to the fare you found online. Once you do that, you should have that fare available and then smack the voucher on them. USAirways tried to bait and switch me the first time I used a voucher and I called them on this and suddenly, the agent found the fare I wanted! I never, ever tell an agent that I have a

In the case of some airlines (US Airways in particular) they are nothing more than an inducement to experience horrible service all over again. They should either be applicable against all fares or none at all. Thanks for sharing your insights! Sounds like vouchers are the root of all evil.

So that is why there was not a value assigned to it. The fare you redeemed it on would have determined the voucher value.

It never had a value associated with it. One day, I went to use it. The customer service agent was totally confused when she brought it up and found it had no assigned value. I was put on hold for about 20 minutes, and the girl came back and told me it was worth $25. I really think she made it up. i cant imagine that US would even send a voucher to a customer for $25.

That's the magic of vouchers, you don't know untill you actually try to use them. :( On one hand, when you get a voucher, you’ll be inclined to book the issuing airline, but when you actually try, you realize you’re holding something very stinky and smelly in your hand.
