I recently booked a trip that was going to cost me $183.00. Since I had travel funds in the amount of $19 that I knew was going to be expiring soon, I used that towards the trip for the slight reduction in what I would have to pay. Turns out I had to cancel the trip. While I expected I would lose the $19 since it was nearing its expiration anyway, what I didn't expect was that I would lose the rest of what I paid as well! Logic told me that the approximate $160 I paid in new money would be good for one year from the date I booked the flight, but no -- the entire thing now expires on August 1st. Since I have no plans to fly anywhere before then I'm losing it all, which I don't think is fair. Had I not used that stupid $19, I'd have $183 available to use for a year instead of just until August 1st of this year. Wish I'd known.
