I don't know, it just seems weird that they may just auto cancel or ban me or maybe it is against some weird air-travel regulation and my PSA-Precheck gets banned or something. haha
Not sure what airline you're referring to but many airlines have it written in their fare rules that buying multiple tickets to circumvent advance purchase requirements ("speculative booking") is against the Contract of Carriage. In this regard, the airline may care, even if you are not exchanging/refunding the tickets and they end up keeping the funds. They may still see it as lost revenue because instead of buying 1 ticket at $500 on a shorter notice and them still being able to sell the five seats you would have bought to five other passengers for $500 for a total of $1000, you instead only allowed them to get $500 for the five seats you bought, only 1 of which you actually used. Additionally, the other reality is you're now preventing someone else who may otherwise want to use that cheaper inventory but who can't afford the more expensive inventory from being able to travel/use it.
