Help with a Fully Refundable Ticket
Ticket was not purchased with my money. No it was not stolen, but an expensive gift from a nigerian uncle that passed away with 500 billion in the bank...blah blah. O yea. And he purchased it through expedia too.
I want to cancel the ticket and have it held as united credit. That is easy, but then they said once I reschedule the flight they will do a refund to the CC for the residual credit (which there will be since this is a expensive fare). Any idea on how I can retain as much of this fare as possible and do multiple bookings (for other people also would be nice)? Thanks!

I think if you buy some silly cheapie fare and apply this refundable ticket to it, the leftover will be issued in the form of a voucher.
Does your Nigerian uncle need my bank account number to transfer $2 billion to take care of his deathly ill mother?
