We booked a family trip last June. Scheduled to fly in December. Unfortunately my grandmother got sick and we had to cancel the trip. Now I want to use the credit toward a flight in August. I thought I was good because I was flying within a year of the original travel date, but AA told me its 1 year from the BOOKING date.

What is my best option to extend the certificates a few months? The agent I spoke to said booking a flexible fare and then canceling it will not work, but is she right? Could I sell the certificates or use it for something else other than flights?

Thanks!
