One other option to get an ETC for most of the value, which in addition to making it available for other travelers to use, would also extend the validity, is to book the cheapest non-refundable flight you can find. Youll then get the balance as an ETC.
This is very helpful. (Actually ALL answers are helpful but this one is exactly what I needed to know). Several upcoming trips, none as valuable as the one I canceled.
One clarifying question though, is the ETC really still good until the one year expiration date? Seems surprisingly "generous" LOL Thanks!
