Automatic travel credit with Venture X

I already knew about calling within 24 hours to request a price match, but I wasn’t aware there was also an automatic travel credit feature. Pretty happy with this so far, liking the Venture X card and how the travel portal benefits are working out.

Is the Westgate resort credit deal actually worth it?

I came across an offer at Westgate that seems almost too good to be true. The rate comes to about 86 dollars per night after taxes and fees, and it includes a 100 dollar resort credit. For anyone who has booked this deal before, is it legitimate, or are there restrictions and...

Southwest's flexibility offer increased to $30

I recently received another flexibility offer from Southwest, and it appears the compensation has increased from the $20 offers I had seen previously to $30. It makes me wonder whether the earlier offers weren't attracting enough interest, prompting the airline to raise the...

Question about Venture X travel credit expiration after flight cancellation

I used my $300 Venture X travel credit to book a United flight, but I later had to cancel the trip. The travel credit was returned to my account afterward. I’m trying to figure out whether the refunded credit will still expire on its original expiration date or if the...

Called to use $500 travel credit but agent says it is actually only $300

I am genuinely confused and trying to understand what I am missing here. I originally booked a Flex fare with no change fees. I already completed the outbound portion of the trip, then later cancelled the return flight and received an email showing a travel credit of about $511...

Got $3200 in AA credit just by giving up my seat twice

I saw this story and honestly… that is some next level airline luck. Guy volunteers to give up his seat on a PHX to MIA flight for $300. Gate agent says whatever the last volunteer gets, everyone gets. It climbed all the way to $2000 and he got the full amount. Then it gets even...

Southwest asking me to switch flights… but won’t say for how much?

Just got an email from Southwest with a “unique offer” to switch my flight in exchange for a travel credit. The catch? The only option is to move it two days earlier. And they don’t even say how much the credit is unless you click through. I’m not planning to change anything,...

$450 in Wizz Air credits expiring soon. Any clean way to extend?

I’ve got about $450 in Wizz Air credits sitting in my account that expire on Feb 20, and I don’t have any real travel plans right now. I’m trying to figure out the safest way to extend them without doing anything sketchy. One idea was booking a flight with Wizz Flex and then...

How late can you cancel a JetBlue flight and still get credits?

Trying to figure this out because there’s a decent amount of money on the line. Can you cancel a JetBlue flight around 30 minutes before departure and still get travel credits? I’ve seen mixed answers and don’t want to assume wrong. Anyone know how strict JetBlue is on this?

Accidentally shortened my Southwest flight credit expiration

Tried that trick of booking and canceling a flight to combine travel credits, but now the expiration date on the new credit is earlier than my planned trip. The system won’t let me use it anymore. Has anyone had luck getting Southwest to extend a credit’s expiration date?...

New Amex Platinum data points, United Travel Bank worked even before airline selection

Got approved for the Platinum on 12/17 and Amex overnighted it to me. As soon as I activated it, I added $100 to my United Travel Bank totally forgot I hadn’t selected my airline yet. About 30 minutes later, I chose United. Charge showed as “UNITED ELEC TICKET” and posted with a...

If Frontier offers you a refund, screenshot it immediately

Canceled a Frontier flight today and the website briefly showed I’d get a refund to my card minus the 10% fee. I was actually happy with that. Hit cancel and boom, travel credit instead. Only for one leg too, which was odd. Called customer service and mentioned the site...

Finally got one of those unique $20 flight change offers. Anyone know how it actually works?

Southwest finally sent me one of those $20 change offers I always see people mention. Not a lot, but still lunch money. If I accept one of the suggested changes, do I get to keep the $20 credit even if I later cancel the flight and don’t fly? Or is the credit only added after I...

AS split my 3k bump offer into a mess of discount codes

Took a voluntary bump for 3000 dollars and thought it was straightforward. Got 1500 right away into my Alaska wallet. Then an email shows up with three 500 dollar discount codes instead of actual credit. Each code can only be used once per reservation, so to use all three I’d...

Heads up – the $500 Chase Sapphire Reserve promo credit is one-time use only

Found out the hard way that the $500 travel credit promo is single use. I used $200 on a flight thinking I could use the rest later, but the remaining $300 disappeared when I tried to book a hotel later on. Totally my fault for not reading the fine print, but still feels kind of...

Anyone get the $100 JSX credit faster than 6–8 weeks?

Has anyone actually seen the $100 JSX credit post sooner than the 6–8 weeks the terms mention? I’m planning to downgrade my card in a couple weeks and don’t want to lose it. Other credits (like rideshare or hotel) usually show up fast, so wondering if JSX does too.

Southwest offering a whopping $20 to change my flight

Just got this “amazing” offer for a flight next week: > We’re seeking volunteers willing to change from Flight #5987. We’ll waive the fare difference and give you $20 in travel credit. Oh, and you lose any upgrades you already paid for. Who on earth would take that deal? $20...

Southwest offered me $20 to take a 6am flight instead of 6pm

Got an email from Southwest asking if I’d switch flights from 6pm to 6am for a whopping $20 in credits. And no refund for EarlyBird either. I wasn’t planning to change anyway, but seriously… $20? Other airlines at least make it tempting.

Thought I was getting AA travel credit… got nothing

Booked LAX–DFW for tonight, app showed me the travel credit options so I picked the highest one. About 20 mins later AA calls asking if I’ll move to tomorrow since tonight’s overbooked. I figured it was tied to the credit, so I agreed. They rebooked me… and no credit ever showed...
