At the time of VDB, the Atlantic Coast Airlines supervisor categorically denied my request for travel credits in lieu of a free trip, though he was good enough to deliver the free ticket to me in the ACA lounge at IAD.
My followup request to 1K voice (Charlie) met with the devaluation I describe, and the statement that this was a special exception to the rules, though I explained I wanted to use the credit for foreign travel.
