Make sure you file a police report. If you get an officer willing to pursue the case South West should be able to track down the person who fraudulently used your code. This kind of thing happens when cards are resold. Some companies let you use the cards code online..in your case the seller must have kept the code and transferred in to another card or used it. Only cards that must be used in stores will be safe after our guarantee period expires. I strongly recommend using or selling any gift card you have within a month. The longer people hold on to gift cards the more likely they will be lost, or in some cases start expiring. I myself use to save up gift cards for month, but after losing a couple I decided to find an alternative. Its a shame you had such trouble with your South West Gift card.

Is this correct? Verifying the balance is not the only thing. The card I bought had $250 available on May 25th, but nothing on July 16th ( the day that Southwest discovered it was fraud).

What's unique about Giftah is that they verify the balance of any card sold on the site. If you buy a card on Giftah you are protected 100% for the entire transaction.

I bought a gift card from eBay ( in May) and schedule a trip approx. 2 months later (in July). The day of my flight I found out that the card was fraudulent ( The card had worked 2 months ago so I never thought it was fraudulent). The same day as my flight I found out about the fraud. Now I am having trouble getting my money back. I spoke with someone at Southwest and there is alot of this going on right now. People need to be very careful.
