Can Delta flights be cancelled at 24 hrs or before end of next calendar day? For ex, if I buy a ticket at 7 am today, do I have to cancel by 7 am tomorrow? Or tomorrow before midnight? They call it a "24 hr policy" but I remember reading somewhere you have until the end of the next day. Different airline, maybe? Maybe the charge will finalize by then.
Let us know of that works..

Even with canceling a day later...?
So what are the next best options?

Made a large purchase, cancelled card a few weeks later (AF) Now I need to return that item, will Amex claw back the signup bonus (if there return brings it under the original signup amount required)?

Why? Because I cancelled the card before the AF?

Yikes. I guess Ill have to take my chances. Its the 50K upgrade offer (from gold to Plat.) Not worth the $450 fee

So now that PGGM is no longer, the only way to cashout of the credit is through GC's? Correct?

anyone with a better idea? ???
