The only caveat to this as I understand is that the TTFs are locked with a 1 year expiration from the date that the ticket was initially booked.
But as long as I'm confident that I'll use the funds (*and* must complete travel by) the 1 year anniversary date - this should make booking tickets much more palatable, right?

I did this with Cit points. Book an Anytime fare if you want. When you cancel you have the option to select Refund or Travel Credit. Choose the Travel Credit and you have ticketless funds you must fly within a year of the original purchase.
