Can you use a luv voucher for a hotel?

Re: Luv voucher Even then, you are not paying for the car up front so vouchers cannot be used and the hotel booking will also not accept vouchers. The only possible option to do what the OP wanted is to use Southwest Vacations.



No, a Southwest LUV Voucher cannot be used to book a hotel stay; it is strictly limited to the purchase of air travel on Southwest Airlines. LUV Vouchers are essentially travel credits issued by Southwest as a gesture of goodwill or as compensation for a flight disruption. They can be applied toward the "base fare" of a flight, but notably, they cannot be used to pay for taxes, security fees, or "ancillary" services like EarlyBird Check-In or pet fees. If you are looking to use Southwest points or credits for a hotel, you would need Southwest Rapid Rewards points, which can sometimes be redeemed through the "More Rewards" portal for hotel stays, car rentals, and gift cards (though the value per point is often lower than for flights). In 2026, it is important to remember that LUV Vouchers also have a specific expiration date—usually 12 months from the date of issuance—and they are non-transferable. If you have a LUV Voucher, the best use is to apply it to your next flight booking via the Southwest website or app by entering the voucher number and security code at the "Payment" screen.

Re: LUV vouchers cancel a flight When you apply Travel Funds or Vouchers to a booking, that booking takes on the earliest expiration date of those funds or vouchers. The same thing happens if you cancel within 24 hours. Your "complete refund" will come in the form of Travel Funds, even if you've used a voucher.

Once those funds are expired, request reissue as a voucher within 6 months of expiration. If granted, $100 will be deducted from the total, and the voucher will be valid for 6 months from the date of issue.

You ARE entitled to a full refund via your original method of payment EVEN if you booked a nonrefundable Wanna Get Away fare IF Southwest cancels the flight (and not you). You will likely have to be the one to ask them for it, but you are entitled.
