I fly only about two or three times a year. I have heavy cc use with my business, and with MR, SPG and DL Skymiles Amex, I accumulate enough miles for reward travel, so I don't have the need to purchase tickets when I do fly.
I typically don't take money out of my pocket to buy an airline ticket. The eGC, as I understood it, would have allowed me to obtain a "free" domestic airline ticket on DL worth up to $400.00. Had I known that effectively, all the eGCs would allow me to do is to get $150.00 off a purchased ticket, I would have indeed used the credit directly to apply toward EC or some other fee.
