Just a warning! If you take the American Express Cards….write the numbers down ASAP. I recieved $900 for bumping a flight…unfortunately I believe the cards were taken from my purse the first week I had them. Despite the fact that they actually issue them to ME, with my name printed on the cards and issued to my address Delta refuse to cancel them and replace them unless I can tell them the NUMBER on the cards I no longer have. They have this information and could simply cancel and re issue but it saves them having to pay this way. It makes me sick. Sad lesson learned.
@C. Nykreim – More that this. They expire rather fast so spend them ASAP any way you can. PrePay say your gas bill or cell phone bill – whatever it takes to liquidate them ASAP! Also, sorry for your loss!
