Absolutely. Instead of the logical 'spreadsheet' method, I use the illogical 'paperclip' method. Just last week, I canceled a flight and calmly went into 'look at my travel funds' and found that my new travel funds expired in 6 weeks. Since I am not flying WN as much, I had to scramble to not loose those funds.
