Not sure it's the type of thing we want to keep on the Wiki, but I described it upthread in post

Note: As Jeffersun discovered above, applying the funds to My Wallet apparently won't work if cancelling a refundable fare. Purchase a nonrefundable fare, and cancel later than 24 hours after purchase but earlier than 60 days prior to the original travel date. In my case, the flights I canceled were over 60 days away, but I then used the My Wallet funds to purchase the flights I wanted that are less than 60 days away.
