I wanted to use some UR in conjunction with some Alaska travel credits I had. Given that there's no way to do this directly, my plan was to book a ticket through Chase with UR, then cancel it and take the credit with airline to combine with my other travel credits.

The flight showed up in my Alaska profile right away, but it wouldn't let me cancel it online and said I had to call in for that. Upon calling in I was told that the reservation was made, but that it wasn't fully paid for yet, so they couldn't cancel it. I know there's some GDS/booking functionality to allow an agency to make a booking and pay for it later, any idea how long that would take? I'm afraid Chase won't actually pay for it up until after the point where I can refund it through Chase (24 hours) I don't want to be stuck with a ticket in limbo.
