So, you cancel the dummy trip, 60 Pass Days go to your bank, and your Pass is available to use. You book a 10 Pass Day close-in trip, youre bank goes to 50, and then you book another dummy trip to prevent spoiling each new Pass Day.
We were posting at the same time - you described it far better than I did!
The only thing I'm not sure of is whether you would get to 'bank' the 50 days in your example, or if you lose them. I thought that members usually booked low Pass day trips (e.g. a 5-10 Pass day trip for next year), so when they cancel it, they have those small number of days to use. And that they might do this with lots of low-value trips.
