https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/travel/credit.html Biggest downside is that they expire 12 months from when the original flight was booked.
Does the flight have to be just slightly over the amount of United travel bank in order to qualify for future flight credit upon cancellation?
What happens if the flight cost is just under the United travel bank amount? Will I eligible to get FTC as long as it's a refundable ticket?
If the flight that used Travelbank funds + remaining in cash gets cancelled by the airline, does the whole amount go into FTC or just the Travelbank funds become FTC and the remaining goes back to original form of payment?
With the expiry date being 7/15, is 7/14 or 7/15 the last day for me to book using Travelbank funds?
