Not really but something to keep in mind is that your funds will remain as travel funds and you will have to complete travel using them by the expiration date. If you add the funds to something else to purchase a ticket the new funds will also inherit the earliest expiration date and all travel has to be completed by it.

IE: $5 on a $500 ticket will still expire using the $5 expiration date if it was purchased earlier.
