Yes, I can. But then I’m locked into that airline for a trip. I’ve only flown 4x in the last two years. Not sure where/if I’ll go in the year ahead. I’d book a car rental through them for this week’s trip, but it is more than my Costco rate. And both well over the $300 credit. So yes I can find a flight for the credit. But I have to work at it. And that’s where I get annoyed.
