Bonus Travel Tickets - Expiration?

I have a few of these and they expire 1 year from date of issue.

Does that mean:

1. Ticket by 1 year from date of issue.
2. Travel must begin by 1 year from date of issue.
3. Travel must complete by 1 year from date of issue.

Thanks!

The answer is: 3.

Travel must be completed by 1 year from date of issue. When I booked my last one's (2 weeks ago) the agent asked the issue date to ensure all travel would be completed before they expired.

Not what I was hoping for, but thanks for the clarification!

If you ask nicely, an AS res agent can extend that for 30 days, giving you a little extra time to complete travel if you need it.

Ohh, cool, thanks for the tip.

I happened to get a windfall of these on July 2, and was hoping I could use some for a July 4 trip next year.
