It becomes trip credit, I'm assuming the first instance was an unfortunate typo.

I am trying to figure out if we make an unnecessary trip to use up the $697 Trip Credit shown in my husband's account that expires on January 9 2023, or wait till Dec to book something in Spring 2023. Can we still book a fully refundable then later cancel it when a real need for a trip happens?
Correct - flight credit is fly by, trip credit is book by.
