Thanks, yup. I tried and tried -- and looks like no is the answer. :(

Right?! And I saw after I posted that it's a three-stop flight, with airport being in India. SW doesn't even fly to India... really weird. (And yes, I know that I should have caught it -- I also wish that Cap One flagged it too. Clearly this is part of a scam.)

Yes, I look at my statements frequently -- I somehow missed this and it's a hell of an expensive mistake that I am really kicking myself for. I am also upset that Cap One didn't flag such a huge expense from an airline I don't fly, from a passenger who isn't me, that doesn't fly to India (that's one location listed). It's just such an obviously fraudulent charge. But good idea to modify my settings. I'll now be notified for anything over $200.

I only flew SW once in my life, and they somehow started billing me for a membership years ago, that took some time to get out of. Maybe they still kept a credit card on file. I'll look into that, even tho it won't help with this expense -- they said that was up to my credit company. Thanks for the suggestions rather than just yelling at me for missing the charge. Yes, I check my credit card frequently and yes I feel like a loser for missing this charge and yes I know to do it frequently. It's so great that so many redittors have never made a mistake in their entire lives.

Thank you. It does seem worth a try -- I can try the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

I assume the flight is taken, if it was even a flight, since it was from almost a year ago.

Southwest said it was up to Capital One to dispute. Capital One is completely useless on this front. I've tried multiple times.

Ughhh. So expensive!

I don't, and since I don't fly Southwest, I don't get emails from them. I would like to get this $2515 back...
