i have a $1700 eCredit that expires on March 28. Can i book a flight for some future date, cancel it and get the credit back?
per Delta.com:
What happens when I use a Certificate and eCredit and need to cancel my flight?
If the primary ticket or the Companion ticket is canceled, both tickets will be canceled and the Companion ticket will not be reissued.
If you are using an eCredit to pay for a ticket and government-imposed taxes and fees, an eCredit will be reissued if the ticket is canceled (after any deduction of any applicable cancellation fees or charges).
does that mean i can cancel the flight (if i can't make it) and get a new eCredit with a new expiration date? that's the way i read it.
does it need to be a refundable fare?
i'm going to ask them to convert it to miles, but need to know my options if they won't.
