❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I buy airline gift cards with the flight credit?▼

Generally, no. Most airlines process gift cards through third-party processors, which do not code as direct airline purchases. However, low-value flight tickets or taxes on award tickets do qualify.

Does it work on international airlines?▼

Yes! Unlike some US-only credits, the flight credit applies to direct bookings on any passenger airline globally.

Do inflight purchases count?▼

Inflight WiFi is usually operated by third parties (like Gogo or Viasat) and won't trigger the credit. Inflight food/beverages billed by the airline itself usually do qualify.
