I bought from JGA and my trip is shortly after the requirement drops. Would it be great if I hadn't paid? Sure. But I'm glad I did. I was able to secure good reward flights, super cheap hotels and peace of mind after 2.5 years of cancellation. I'm convinced I saved more on hotels booking early than if I'd booked over the next week in any event.
JGA did a risky thing and it worked. Good for them.
