"Bonus value remains valid for 120 days once received."

Nice, I made a $100 purchase, but now I'm locked out from buying more.
Can it be funded with more without the 10% bonus?

of it triggers airline credit
Who cares about bonus? Can figure something out in a 120 days
Max credit would be 100.

Can’t  you book using the credit and then cancel for a ETC?

That's why I'm asking how to fund without the bonus.

[nafnaf12]

Yes.

Meh, it's limited to once per account.

Why can't you fund each family member $100 each (2 per Amex accnt)?

The bonus won't hit your account till 90 days. (Maybe things get back to "normal", and it won't be as easy then to buy and cancel a ticket. But the $100 should not be a problem now...

I'd rather than travelbank funds be in one account.

After you fund $100 to a family member's account, you can buy a $100 UA ticket, enter your mileage info in the reservation, then cancel the reservation and the Elec voucher will be in your account

I was asking why don't you buy a few tickets in your name with your mileageplus number from your family member's accounts (each paid with the $100 travbank credit), then cancel all the the tickets, and all the vouchers will be in your account.
Is travelbank funds better than having a few electronic vouchers $100 ea in one account? (I guess the expiration is better - travelbank funds expire in 2025)

Can I use TravelBank on tickets ticketed in Israel using the “pay in person” method?

Better expiration policy, and you can book anything Star Alliance, not just United.
