I am down to my last $900 on Delta, from a ticket issued originally in 2006 or 2007 from NW. Bought 2 refundable tickets in higher amounts 11 months apart and then a much lower priced refundable when I wanted to break the funds out be getting the difference issued as an eCert.

When I finally wanted to bail on the last remaining refundable ticket, priced at $1000, from the $6700 original, they said it would revert to the credit card.

I told them if that's the best they could do, I would have to accept it. They said the best they could do is issue a $300 we screwed up cert.

Because part if it was issued using a cert at one time, when they hit the refund button, all $1200 went to a cert that expires this spring.

I was very pleased.

Happy Ending of an initial SNAFU - if I remember it correctly you redeemed that 2007 devaluation on a NW International ticket without knowing the very restrict rule. Good for you to keep renewing it until NW finally is folded into DL and then you were able to start cashing out. ^

I still have 2 AA vouchers totaling about $1,800 from 2007 - AA's are very easy to use / extend. But I also got a stupid UA voucher at just under $1400 from 2009, plus 1 low priced UA refundable and a $770 CO refundable that I do not know what to do with them with expiration in December coming...

The problem I have is, most our travels are international, and one-way too - thus making the pay tickets way too expensive so we use awards. It takes forever to use up those TYP tickets for just domestic travels.

Beware, AFAIK CO vouchers can no longer be extended. I had DL, AA, CO vouchers (thanks to you and this thread) and I used them for myself, family and friends by 2010.

I know. But my remnant of CO is not a voucher, it is a fully refundable ticket that I can rebook against. And actually to my surprise, it had a schedule change that I had to click accept before doing anything, then it regained its fully refundable status, providing the options of 1) refund to an e-cert, or 2) rebook a new itinerary.

It is not until Dec I need to rebook so I am not fiddling with it now until getting closer.

The AAs and UA are paper vouchers with 1 year life from date of issue. Like I said AA is pretty easy to do but UA is a nightmare due to UA no longer serves our market. I should have paid enough attention on it and not to redeem for UA tickets but I was biased to earn more UA miles at that time so I erred.
