I am supposed to fly SFO-Fll on 12 Sept returning on 16 Sept.
It looks like the waiver only applies for flights rebooked prior to 30 Sept, but I have other trips before the end of the month and can't possibly go until October.
I was going to ask them to reschedule me in October, hopefully without a change fee and fare increase. If they won't do that, I wonder if they will give me travel voucher to use a t a later date. Part of my ticket was paid for with a travel voucher, and I want to make sure I get a voucher that includes the whole amount. Any ideas?

Called again today and a very nice agent waved the change fee and canceled the reservation. HUCA works!

Called 1K line, then were willing to rebook at no change fee or price difference if flown prior to sept 30. I opted for a travel credit for full value good for one year.
When looking at the cancelled reservation on the website, it doesn't show anything besides the pnr and destination. No value is shown.
I was told to just call and use the pnr for full value anywhere they fly.
