$1500 or 1500 vouchers? You do realize you can only use 1 per flight right?

You can only use 1 VDB voucher per flight?

I have never had the opportunity to redeem more than 1 VDB at a time so never paid attention to that rule. I just got one on Thursday and got excited with the idea to volunteer more often going forward... but it does not sound as attractive now (unless it is a high amount) as i only spend my own $ on international flights

Congratulations!

Yeah, there was a TON of hoopla here about it when it was first announced, Personally, it doesn't make any difference.

Hmm. I'm thinking $300 might do, but the downside is that I'd have a shorter connection in ATL, that is if I get put on the 7:15a flight (which is on an already packed 319)

Does that actually work? Buy 2 refundable tickets or tickets with no change fee (and apply a voucher on each) and then be able to merge those 2 tickets refunds?
