It depends on the type of offer you receive:
-
If you are offered a Flight Swap, you may choose to accept the offer for only one segment (e.g., your departing or return flight) and keep the other segment unchanged, subject to availability. Each segment is treated independently, and your decision will only apply to the segment you select.
-
If you are offered a Flight Buyback, the offer applies to the entire itinerary, and you must accept or decline it for the full round-trip. Partial acceptance (only one segment) is not allowed in this case.
Each offer will clearly indicate whether it applies to one or both segments of your itinerary. Please review the offer carefully before accepting.
Go Rewards points are earned once the registered member has flown the flight.
If you decide to rebook your flight (Flight Swap), you can still earn Go Rewards points as long as you enter your membership number before your departure date. However, if you decide to cancel (Flight Buyback) your flight, you will not earn Go Rewards points.
