E - Credits -- Help Please
My wife and I are both FO. We each have two e-credits. The individual and aggregate amounts are identical. I am planning on making a solo trip in October, and using a portion of one of the credits as full payment.
However, later in the year we will traveling together. Her certificates will most likely cover the complete fare, but I will probably come up short, and have the difference charged to a credit card.
Given this scenario, I would like to confirm that on our joint trip we will be able to make one reservation covering the two of us, instead of individual bookings. Admittedly this may not be a big deal, given our FO status, but I would appreciate input.
Thanks!

You may use ecredits for a single reservation, however if the ecredits are 'attached' to your name (ie leftover value from a previous canceled ticket) then you can only use the amount for the respective person's ticket. If they are credits from volunteering on an oversold flight or from a cust service issue, then they are likely not tied to a single person and may be lumped together.
Normally there is a maximum of 3 credits that you can use for a ticket, so I'm not sure if that is still 3 max total for a multiple pax booking or of it allows you three per person.

On a side note something I haven't had the opportunity of trying yet but am curious about is...
If I book a cheap non refundable one way, get the voucher instantly, use the balance right away for a different ticket, then call back and cancel the one way within the initial 24 hour window, what the end result would be.
