My son couldn't use his ticket, so I had to cancel it. It was an $80 ticket. I cancelled it over a month in advance. They charged me $75.00 to cancel the ticket. IN ADDITION, they're going to charge my credit card ANOTHER $75.00, and then issue me a $80 credit that I can only use on Alaska Airlines-- within a year or it will expire. Now, they say I made a mistake by asking for a credit. Evidently, that allows them to charge your card again. I thought they were going to put the $5 credit on the card, which was the only reason I gave it. I had no idea I'd lost my entire ticket fee, and then I'd be charged $75 on my credit card. When I called to complain, they defended this practice, and made it sound like the whole thing was my fault.
