If I could find a non-refundable $2500 first class domestic ticket, could I use the $2350 balance to book many (say 8) cheap coach tickets on CO.com and get full EQM credit? I know there is another forum for TY points, but this question is mostly about how the residual credits can be used on Continental and you guys are the experts. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
One key thing about most, if not all, TY tickets is that ALL subequent tickets can only be issued in the name of the original ticket holder. The $150 change fee is deducted and then you can purchase 1 or more tickets. Any balance will be a credit that can be used towards additional tickets, as long as they are for the original ticket holder.
