Airfare "credits"

Hi, 

 

I have some money with both Alaska ($800) and Delta ($600) from canceled trips. Naturally, they won't refund the money, just provide "credit" for future travel.  Any creative ideas on how to get that money from them?

 

Thanks



EQ - 841 / TU - 813/ EX - 823


2025 Plans - Close everything except USB AR and open USB Smartly, there is a small chance I keep my AMEX Business Marriott for the hidden business credit line. Closed so far: USB Altitude Go 25k, FTF 35k, BECU 40k, WF Autograph 22k

You can try booking a refundable ticket with the credit then requesting a refund later, though if it's booked with a credit thay might give you that part back as a credit.

Thanks for the idea. I also stumbled across an idea that since I booked it with a Visa Infinite I may be able to get my money back via that.
