ETCs are solely a form of payment, and always have been - so those are definitely book by.
FFCs are supposed to be ‘begin travel by’ - typically that begin travel by date used to be 1 year from date of issue of the original itinerary, but those have been extended during the pandemic - and the ones issued prior to this year were all extended so the begin travel date is 12/31/22. However, while those are the published rules, I do wonder how the system would handle someone trying to enter them in the payment page, since you can do that now, for a travel date later than that. The schedule isn’t open past that date yet (I don’t think), so I don’t know that there has been real world experience, but would be interesting to figure that out. Wonder if this will be tried a lot more closer to the fall of 22 and beyond.
