I've frequently encountered this on C1 travel for intra-Asia flights, but it usually just takes a 5-minute phone call to have them deposited the difference to my account. It's certainly not ideal, but it makes the credit way easy to use than Citi's (other than Prestige's $250).

Might be off topic, but does anyone know how to see the fare class on C1 travel? I don't think it's shown during booking, and not even in the travel confirmation or flight details emails. The only way I find them is by looking us the confirmation on the airline's website.
