Does $250 work on UA TB, or does it need to be $100 at a time only?

It works. Does not need to be in $100 increments.

Booking AA reward ticket to London, total taxes and fees are 209.57. Would the airline credit get credited?

When booking a refundable JetBlue ticket, make sure it's not on a partner online. I didn't check beforehand and cannot cancel online. Had to call, click through a dozen menus and still waiting on hold 40 minutes and counting.

Tried DMing on Twitter? Or SMSing?

Got through on chat after 50 minutes (1 hour on phone didn't reach anyone) and was told that it won't be refunded to travel bank, rather the tickets will stay open and I have to rebook within a year of the date I originally booked. I asked to be escalated to supervisor but I wasn't able to continue convo at that point.

I had the same experience, very frustrating.

That is annoying. So this is like booking with AA direct then.

Booked JB flights under $99 with Amex, ended up canceling them in the 24 hour window. I see now that I got Amex reimbursement for them anyway. Do I need to worry the credits will be clawed back?

anyone else having issues purchasing United Travel cash? It just keeps saying " Payment failed - Please try again".

I'd assume it'll be clawed back

what date did you purchase?
I'm waiting for credit for 2 $98.60 flights purchased on Jan 3.
Also, just that I'm clear, if/when I choose to cancel these flights and they're deposited in my travel bank - only I can use it for 12 months? I purposely booked a non basic flight 12 months out so that I can have travel bank for up to 2 years.
Hope I'm doing this right

I was refunded a few days ago.

1.Any reason not to wait to cancel to extend the travel bank life?

2. With both UNITED and JETBLUE can Travel Bank be used to buy tickets for other people? Any limits?

3. I have $100 United TB exp. in a couple months. any way to extend it? like booking refundable fare or something?

Wasn't expecting it but a $127 flight on JB triggered the credit.
