Can someone explain to me United's logic here? At least by giving out the travel credit, they'll have a couple dollars in revenue vs. handing out a completely free domestic ticket. I dont understand...</font>
Well, with travel credits, United still gives miles to the passenger. With Free RTs they don't. So those $600 in TCs could cost United a SFO-SIN flight AND 15,000 status miles (maybe 30,000 total miles if flyer is 1P+)!
