Yes, ABSOULTELY! I just did it 2 days ago!

I bought a ticket for $690. I used a $200 Choice Benefit eVoucher first, then I applied an $800 VDB eVoucher. I had an eVoucher remaining for $310.

Later the same day, I bought another ticket for $340 and used the remaining $310 from the aforementioned eVoucher, and only had to pay $30 out of pocket.

2 thingz:

1) When I did the first transaction over the phone, the phone agent offered me the newly created eVoucher number. I wasn't going to write it down, thinking that it would show up in "My Wallet" - - but it DIDN'T!

When I called to book the second ticket, the agent couldn't see the $310 eVoucher in my account, either! So, I gave her the 006 number, and - VOILA! It worked perfectly!

2) I remember years ago flying CO, and took a $650 VDB at Christmas time. They told me that you hafto use the WHOLE THING, or else you lose it! So, I asked the gate agent if he could give me 3 smaller eVouchers, and he said - NO problem!
