Cancellation: tix paid with ETC and Sapphire
Hello, simple question: I have a non-refundable ticket paid wuth ETC and balance with Chase Sapphire which I will need to cancel for a covered medical emergency. Will reimbursement from trip cancellation include the value of the ETC or only what was charged on CC? Thanks

Thank you, garykung.is there any other way for me to recover the value of the ETC on the cancelled trip? Thanks
As the ETC iş not a discount, but in fact a form of payment, how does using an ETC differ from the purchasing of an award ticket using FF points? Such an award ticket would be coverable under this insurance.

Since there will be residual value left once you cancel your ticket, you will need to pay the change fee in order to use it again.
Chase's benefit will cover the change fees only.
See above for the update.
