I had a lot of AirScrip, since I filed a claim for more than the normal amount of travel. Had to send documents, but got a fair amount of scrip. Ended up using all of it for various trips, and never had any problem. Usually used it to discount my travel when flying with the family, who were flying on FF tickets through my miles. That way, using a scrip-discounted ticket, I still got more miles for further traveling. Never had a problem, but I was always making my reservations with FF tickets anyway, which I just picked up when traveling through the PHL airport. It's found money, IMHO. As to it being a "rip-off legal settlement", I think that it was a good settlement to a questionable class action, which may not have had much merit. The traveling public had the opportunity to benefit, the airlines got to generate additional travel, and I am sure that the lawyers got paid handsomely on both sides, no doubt. Will be happy to discuss the theory of price-signaling, which is what the airline price-fixing case was based upon(which settled with the Airscrip class action settlement) if anyone so desires. I think I may have discussed it in a previous post, but don't have the patience to go back and find it.
