A “workaround” would be to temporarily use $700 of the $1000 for a refundable dummy ticket (24 hr cancellation should work) to artificially reduce the travel bank balance before buying your actual $400 ticket with the remaining $300 + $100 credit card funds.
Ha! That’s a smart idea I never thought of. Learned something today!
