To my surprise, the funds were only good for flights departing one year from the date that I booked, not from the date of travel.
Since we have a newborn baby, we are not interested in going anywhere in the next couple months. The earliest would be April or May. So I was wondering if there is any way to extend this credit. An AA agent offered the idea of booking a cheap refundable flight before my expiry date, and then cancelling it. He thought this would extend it, but was not confident at all. Can anyone comment on this, or have any other ideas?
Rebooking/expiration can be tricky - there is a thread on the topic:

This is not going to happen.
