Upgrading (via changes) of BASIC fares to WGA+, AT or BS
I started a booking for a flight in July just to see what is different now about the process. I selected a BASIC ticket. According to the FARE BENEFITS, under changes, it says:
For Basic fares, you may upgrade the fare to Wanna Get Away PlusŪ, Anytime, or Business Select
So, if I booked that ticket today (May 28), the funds would expire in 6 months (Nov 28). However, before the flight date, I could change that flight to a WGA+ for extra money. If I did that change --
-- Would the funds in that new booking (a) retain the May 28 + 6 months expiration (b) become May 28 + 1 year or (c) become date of change + 1 year?
-- If I cancelled that new flight within 24 hours of the change, would any extra funds that I applied to the ticket be refunded to my credit card?
Would the answer change if --
-- I canceled the July ticket, got the travel funds, then booked a new WGA+ ticket?
-- Did the same with an AT or BS ticket?
