Would that extend the trip credit expiration date? Thanks so much.
Yes you can do this. Book a random new trip for $185 and pay the extra $5 with a credit card. Wait at least 2 days until the free 24-hr cancel window has passed. Then cancel the ticket, you will have a new $185 trip credit good for another 1 year.
