Types of ticketsYou can also sell travel vouchers, which are the credits issued by airlines if you've ever been bumped from a flight (even if the airline isn't one that allows name changes on tickets).
Most future flight credits are non-transferable, meaning they can only be used by the passenger they were issued to. Travel certificates, meanwhile, can be used to book travel for anyone.
So the airline has offered you a voucher, which is perfectly legal, but you'd rather just have the cash. You'll need to proactively ask your airline for a cash refund in writing. The same goes for if you've booked through an online travel agency like Expedia. They are also covered under DoT rules.

Re: LUV vouchers cancel a flightWhen you apply Travel Funds or Vouchers to a booking, that booking takes on the earliest expiration date of those funds or vouchers. The same thing happens if you cancel within 24 hours. Your complete refund will come in the form of Travel Funds, even if you've used a voucher.
Most often, a voucher or travel credit can be applied as payment toward the cost of a flight. If you choose to cancel a flight, most airlines will give you your money back in the form of a voucher or travel credit equivalent to the value of your ticket.
