Just registered an AirTran account. Will I receive an email from air tran to link account?
I don’t have an AirTran account. Can I create one and then merge it?
Hey,
How long did it take for your to receive the points? I did it yesterday and the points have not posted.
So I had an Airtran account I hadn’t used in a decade or so. I went through the “forgot my password” thing to get access again. However I never received this email from either Southwest or Airtran, so I don’t know where to go to link the accounts? Or maybe it’s targetted and doesn’t apply to people with inactive Airtran accounts?
Just created an AirTran account to see if I would receive the e-mail, nothing so far. Will update if I do receive one.
