My questions are
1) When you book a Delta ticket using the giftcards as partial payment then cancel the ticket within the 24 hours grace period, the payments by giftcards will go back to giftcards, right? Those giftcards will then have a new issuance dates, correct?
2) Do you get back the total value paid by gift cards to ONE eGiftCard, or they go back to the Original GiftCards, i.e. those $50 ones?
Maybe they changed it, but I believe you can use up to 5 now?
When you buy a flight online that states "cancel for full e-credit" as a feature, you can effectively get everything back on 1 e-credit that resets the clock and lasts 1 year.
From my other thread...
My 4 gift cards totaled $400. Just bought a flight worth $412, to see what would happen if I just cancel the flight. It was a main cabin flight, and I noticed during the leg selection phase, the webpage mentioned "cancel for full e-credit" which I wasn't sure what they meant exactly at the time. But during canceling, I actually noticed there were two options they present - refund to original forms of payment, or, put everything on 1 e-credit that lasts a year and explicitly tells you the expiration date (this is what they meant).
Just went with the latter, as 1)will most likely use it within a year, 2)there's no doubt I won't lose the gift card values (at least for a year, in which case I can just repeat what I did if need be), and 3)losing $12 in cash for store credit isn't the end of the world.
Would refunding a multiple gift card fare purchase be consolidated onto 1 gift card ?
