With $3k in GCs I can refund those cash tix and rebook with GCs, leaving only around $1k net cash tied up in the remaining GCs.
Just keep in mind that your BS/AT fares become non-refundable when purchased with a gift card. If you need to cancel, you'll receive travel funds with the usual limitations and expiration date. (Also, gift cards aren't refundable or replaceable if lost or stolen.)
