What’s the cancellation fee? $250?

Yes. The flights are the same price as when I bought them so that would be the only addition cost for 100 additional SCs.

Not deranged at all. I have done it myself!

You should see the look my Mrs gave when I suggested the 'Scheme' to her. Glad to hear there are some like-minded folks on here.

I assume the safest move is to book the new flights first before refunding the existing one?

Yes, I always book my new flight before I cancel the old one, my new hotel room before I cancel the old one etc - don;t ask me how I know, just learn from other people's mistakes so you don't have to make them all yourself!

And of course, $250 is $250, and it's actual money, so be sure that you will get $250 worth of value out of the DSC. Seeing you are WP at the moment, it would be worth it to me (also WP) to get 100 SC towards maintaining status for only $250. I get lots of actual value out of WP benefits such as extra luggage, First lounge access. And I save a lot of time that is valuable to me with things like priority check in and faster phone support. And I am sure that they take better care of me when there is disruption to flights, based on a recent experience where we were deplaned from an unserviceable dash-8 and bussed back to terminal and I could hear the re-arrangements being offered to others. We were placed on he very next flight. Some of them were given flights with more than 4 hrs to wait. Of course I have no idea of their status.

Hi All, if I book a flex economy ticket during the DSC period then upgrade the ticket via Manage my Booking ie pay the fare difference to business class, at which fare class will I receive DSC?
