[QUOTE="shamolly, post: 2325621, member: 82176"] Got $400 travel credit with Amex Explorer that I need to use up. On chat a few days ago I was told by Amex that if I book a flight for which the airline only allows refunds in the form of airline travel credit, then I could spend $400 using the Amex travel credit, cancel the flight, and then while I would have lost the $400 Amex credit I'd still have the $400 airline travel credit. It follows also that I should spend as much of the $400 as possible on the flight, since I'll forfeit anything I don't spend. Does anyone else know whether this is correct, or have any experience with it? Though I saved the chat, I've had some issues with incorrect advice from Amex before. This isn't a great outcome but would let me at least salvage something from the credit. [/QUOTE]
