booked United flights to LHR on my CSR, so would be covered. I thought I got a pretty good fare, but now thanks to a recently issued promo code, can get cheaper. Because the difference is based on a promo code and not just a fare drop, I can’t just change the flights, I’d need to completely cancel and rebook, presumably using the FFC from the original flights (paid for by CSR) as the payment (while being able to save the balance for a future trip). But if I do that, I expect this won’t be covered, as I’ll not have paid with the card? Anyone know if this is correct?
If so, any way to get coverage? Would pre-paying for E+ or another ancillary (which I’d rather not do, but maybe there’s something relatively low cost I could handle) at time of ticket purchase and paying with CSR activate coverage?
If you end up on the same flights with the same PNR (reservation number), how would the benefits people even know that you did this?
You'll submit
1. receipt showing you purchased UA flight XXX on your card
2. proof that flight XXX was cancelled/delayed
3. if rebooked, proof that you flew on flight YYY instead
