Hi DoC, just read Vinh's post about using the Merrill card to "bank" $1k in Alaska cash. He mentioned the "banked" money expires after 1 year. He also mentioned that the same concept (-$70 cancellation fee) is possible on JetBlue. Any idea on if JetBlue "banked" cash expires?
JetBlue travel bank balances are also good for only one year, like Alaska.
Not sure. Maybe ask Vinh.
