Or, should I keep it safe and buy them both a refundable ticket using their FFCs and then cancelling it a couple days later thereby getting an newly extended FFC?
1. You never know unless you try.
2. I did the buy-a-ticket refund it thinking the expiration date would reset. It does not, and you will end up calling anyway.
