I think that process would make trying to call and give them a voucher difficult.

Although that would be a great idea if they allowed you to enter a voucher number as a payment option someday.

You can always call or use the chat function to see if they now allow vouchers, but they didn't as of Nov 2023.
I did end up calling and was told no. I had to cancel the return portion of an SAS flight and of course they refunded the voucher before refunding my credit card 🙄
