That said, I don't quite agree with AA on the evoucher I received a few weeks ago.
AA indicated canceled flights credit could be used until Dec 2021 I bought a ticket for less than the credit, and the remaining credit e-voucher only shows valid for a year from the date I used the first part of the credit. I assume the expiration date applies to when I can use the voucher to buy a ticket, not when travel has to be completed, correct? I also assume that purchasing a refundable ticket would give me a voucher for a new date if that ticket was canceled, or if I used the voucher for a ticket costing less.
