Yes, by terms they are not re-issued if you cancel and only primary ticket still retains value as a credit. You can make changes to itin and just pay fare differences, but all travel must be complete by expiration date of cert.

Thanks, makes sense and I understand the date of the cert expiration (August)

Small detail here, Delta did a schedule change to my flight a few weeks ago (it wasn't drastic, but it was enough that Delta allowed me to make a flight change to a nonstop route that wasn't available for a companion certificate otherwise.) Weird loop-hole that allowed me to score this ticket.

Would you think that because of me modifying the ticket with this loop hole, that this is why it's showing the ticket for the companion having an expiration date of January 2024? I tried to modify to another flight (tested for April, and for December before/after the cert expriation date) and both tests said "Please call us"

My guess is I either am screwed and can't modify at all? (less likely) or I've scored some great loop hole that allows me to change the flight to January 2024 but it would require a phone agent to move.

Thoughts?
