If I was flying like that, yeah I wouldn't either probably. I would just get mad if it went down and I couldn't get a credit. LOL However in our situation we know we are going next April and can use the credit so this girl is checking it out OFTEN.
Looked this morning and our 83 buck flights down dropped to 69 so more credits for next April. However so dumb how this goes up and down in a week's time for a trip 6 month's away.
It is good advice to check frequently though. We always get the credits since you never know when you might end up needing them. I had 2 credits from our January trip that I didn't think I would use. We ended up booking flights on Friday for an unplanned trip and I was happy to have the credits.
Just got back 1550 points with a new lower price. I try to check at least once a day, and since I booked with points, I just get refunded the point difference immediatly.
