This is a repeat from my previous post# 134 which was unanswered.
Does anyone know for Continental Airlines, if I change my itinerary and the new itinerary is for a fare lower than the previous, what happens to the difference? The original ticket is non-refundable, I am hoping (has X and K class fare together with a Y class segment).
Would I be issued a credit voucher? If yes, does anyone know the rules for that credit voucher?
Can I use to book a ticket for my family? If yes, what if there is still some balance left on that voucher? Do I lose it or can I still use the balance until the voucher expires?
Any information will be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I don't know the answer for CO, but you're probably better off doing a search in the CO forum (try searching for "voucher").

I do believe that expedia's terms and conditions mention that changes have to be made thru them. Unfortunately, they also say that points are non-refundable and you may get a credit with airlines. But then they say that tickets are not refundable with the airlines.

So how come expedia use credit card to book tickets. One would imagine that they have some contract with the airlines to pay cash and get 1-2% cash discount. Maybe they are using premier pass elite and earning flight/purchase miles on all these purchases.

I think the airlines would be just fine with the situation. They are getting paid cash. Those trying to then rebook the tickets will lose change/cancellation fees (pure gravy for the airline) and have only a year to do so. Win-Win for the airlines. Not so much for Citi but, of course, starting in 3 days they limit their own liability substantially.
