For example, I have a trip this July booked back in December that appears to allow free changes as a result of delta-initiated schedule changes. Now the trip is acceptable to me as is, but the cost of a new ticket has decreased around $400 from what I originally paid for D1. I’ve been tempted to cancel/rebook and take a credit, but if the original 1 year expiration date remains this December it’s unlikely i would use it as all of my planned travel is booked through then. I do have a trip planned for January that I have not booked yet - as things are the potential $400 credit would expire before then. But if it was granted a 5 year expiration date, it could easily be used in January.
