If I'm not entirely sure I want the reservation, I just put on hold. I often book with credits, and it's a pain to keep track of them when cancelling within 24 hr (even worse when combining with new funds from CC). Last few times when doing this, I've gotten an email with the new Trip Credit info, but it doesn't show back up in my account, so I have to keep track of it separately.
