What do you do? Buy it, then cancel - within 24 hours? After 24 hours? And then the money goes into your TravelBank?

After 24 hours, for a credit that has to be used in a year. Works great on a $56 fare.

This was also the lowest I could find. It ended up being $58.48.

it shouldn't be this hard

Is there some way to look for an Economy but not Basic Economy fare a month a time? The United web site will show me Economy fares for a month at a time, but I cannot find a filter to exclude Basic Economy fares. When I choose a date, I can exclude Basic Economy fares, but as soon as I change the date, that filter is cleared. How could I search better? Thanks. (Same question for Google Flights; is there a switch to exclude Basic Economy fares?)

The app allows blocking BE listings.

For Google Flights, if you include a "carry on" in the bags section, that will remove all the BE fares (atleast for united).

I have run into this twice now, so I would like to post it here to see whether any one has ideas why it is happening.

When booking an all-UA itin that costs more than my Travel Bank balance, online booking fails complaining about "issues processing your credit/debit card."

On the phone, UA agents can help finish it without issue. So there is no real issue with my credit card.

FYI. my credit post date shows 7/5th. but i didnt see it on 5th or 6th. and checked a week later so not sure wen it showed up. really easy to forgot if not careful.

our JAN 2026 credits are coming up so it made me think about it. assuming plenty pple didnt use their JUL credits and saving up for JAN nxt yr to combine.

i also have UA travel credits rolled over from last year expiring soon. so i gotta make an effort to fly UA.

did u ever figure out the issue? sounds more like a glitch vs anything major.

the difference after UA TB should be charged to the card. but u get an error? this is for any card on file?

Semi-related but my card has a 10% off Chase offer for flight purchases. Min spend $499.99 with a max of $50 back. Has anyone tried purchasing $500 of TB to see if it will trigger the offer?
