Can you keep doing it endlessly?

if you have $2000 in charges, can you do a $2000 buy/refund every month to delay the payment indefinitely?

Get rid of your cards quick!
Or at least think of something's much much bigger, lol

A refund is like a payment a charge goes for the next month... So as long as the store does not void the transaction (Most stores settle the bill at 12:00am so the next day it has to b a refund) you'll b getting a payment for refund...

If you book using both deltas on delta only flights and cancel right away (within 24 hrs), and do that this week you should be cleared by the due date.  You should see your minimum payment go to zero at the very least.

does it matter how quickly you cancel?  in other words is it better  if you cancel flight right away after you book or  is it better to wait 1-23 hours after yuo book before cancelling

Don't think it matters. Personally, I always Cancel immediately, or at least as soon as I see the pending charges on my amex account page. Which is usually within seconds. I don't want to forget about it the next day.

Why would you do that? It's been confirmed many times that delta allows refunds. What is priceline's refund policy?

That's to make sure it's valid. The rest should follow soon.
