Requiring cash is there in the article, at least now it is.
> The refunds must be issued within seven days, according to the new DOT rules, and must be in cash unless the passenger chooses another form of compensation. Airlines can no longer issue refunds in forms of vouchers or credits when consumers are entitled to receive cash.
- MBCook 2y ago> unless the passenger chooses another form of compensation This is the bit. How much you wanna bet they’ll find ways to use this to screw people?
- onion2k 2y ago"We can issue you a refund for the cash value, but the system takes 3 years to pay out. You can have a voucher right now though."
- eszed 2y ago"The refunds must be issued within seven days", so (while I wouldn't put it past them to try) telling passengers something so manifestly untrue would be grounds for a lawsuit, which should make them stop.
- mrandish 2y agoSince they now have to automatically offer a cash refund, any alternative voucher offered will have to be substantially higher value to the customer to get any takers. Sure, it's possible some grandma who almost never flies anywhere may still get confused but this new rule is still going to put even that kind of person in a far better position.
