i had no idea AP tickets can not be changed. isnt that counter intuitive for that level of pre-paid "investment"? makes no sense. luckily, it looks like you can mass book various segments with static/locked last min pricing so you can go ape wall on book/cancel simultaneous overlapping bookings.

No change or cancellation fees
Change of plans? No problem. Make changes or cancel your trip with no fees.
also, can anyone give more detail on contract timing? how does that work? is it always 12 mo with possible 12 month extension? so if i want to keep things simple, starting Jan 1st to dec 31st contract would make more sense for ease of record keeping? i dont want to keep track of expenses from the contract mid year to mid year (aug to aug).
one more thing. my understanding is that this AP is a glorified prepaid gift card w/ benefits that expire in 12 months. use it or lose it, correct? meaning, if someone wires $50k, they better be using that full. and was CK still $50k or $60k?
