Delta.dumb pricing shenanigans continues! (anyone else)?
Most of us are familiar with the price changes at final buy that happens from time to time but this one is new to me.
I was looking to book one of the sub $600 LAX-GOT Norwegian attack fares that Delta matched from LAX and could price it all day long on Delta.com for the price I wanted. Seats wide open.
But when I first went and selected to use a $400 credit voucher I had the same lowest price could not be found.
I did call the DM line and rep found the price and then manually attached the voucher and all done but found it interesting that delta.dumb would not show the lowest price when searching via picking the voucher 1st!
Anyone else see this kind of shenanigans?

Probably have some gamer tag affixed to your profile that means you can't use vouchers on delta.com
It's a new enhancement
