It can be a pain to keep them straight.


Edited to add:

Also, if you need the e-receipt for various purposes (tax, employer reimbursement, etc.), you should get a copy of it ASAP--I usually also get one at the airport if I have time, from Mr. Easy Chicken.

Why? The e-receipt for past flights I have found can change / deviate significantly, if it works at all. I've had it claim a flight I took was $650 when it was actually $250, for example. Obviously, I wouldn't use the $650 "receipt" for any reimbursement purposes, but wow, imagine if you needed the receipt and couldn't get the right info on it!
