I know that for the longest time, vouchers could only be had when "regular" fares dropped, and that these vouchers couldn't be used when booking online.
Recently, I found that my new Delta voucher could be used when booking online.
Is it possible that some airlines (United, in today's situation) might now have a way to receive vouchers when web fares drop? We bought at $260, the web fare has gone down to $216 today, but the "phone" fare is up to $305 - so no go on the voucher calling United's 800 number.
Any experience with this? (This isn't the sort of thing that would be featured prominently on the airline web site - if travelers discover they can get vouchers on the web, the web site traffic figures to go way up and they'd have to buy bigger servers.)
Thanks for any thoughts here.
