Thanks for the suggestion, though it looks like the billing and shipping addresses match perfectly. In my case the cancellation message said that I had purchased more than the allowed amount, even though I'd only bought 3 and the limit is 10. Still, they couldn't figure it out. I'll try a couple more times, but after that it's not really worth the time to try to get them to process it manually.

I’ve been waiting til the new year to buy these. If any of have a Chase Freedom, the bonus category this quarter is wholesale club (Costco included). Tempted to buy three of these to max out that credit

The cost of my time is higher than trying to pursue a claim under travel delay protection insurance offered by a CC, YMMV

Keep in mind that the gift certificate value doesn't expire. However if you purchase an itinerary and later cancel it past the 24 hour free cancelation to the original form of payment, the funds will go into your wallet and the 1 year expiry date of those funds is imposed.
Cancellation Policy

Cancellation Policy
- If an Alaska Airlines Gift Certificate is redeemed for a non-refundable ticket, and the ticket is canceled within 24 hour of the time of purchase, the refund will be issued in the form of a new non-expiring gift certificate
- If an Alaska Airlines Gift Certificate is redeemed for a non-refundable ticket, and the ticket (or a portion of the ticket) is canceled more than 24 hours after time of purchase, the value of the unused portion of the ticket will be returned as a new credit certificate. Any portion of the credit certificate value not redeemed by the stated expiration date will expire on that date
- The applicable fare terms and conditions will govern ticket exchanges

I'm facing the bolded issue with my Alaska gift certificate funds. Used funds to purchase PAE-PHX return for February and AS changed our flights to 12 hours earlier. Called and tried (and failed) to switch our flights in and out of BLI, which I figured was a longshot but would be much more convenient than a 2 hour drive to SEA. Will probably just cancel now. Question is how long will I have to then use the funds in my wallet since they'll have an expiration date? I tried to find the policy but couldn't when searching on their website. Bummed that I can't get the funds back with no expiration but that's the policy when I bought it.

Just a reminder this deal is still around, if you’re booking new flights with the 30% codes. Buy the certificate with chase freedom this quarter and get 5% back
