Airline Refunds:
Tickets credit noted only become payable to us on the 15th or 31st (or last day of the month) of each month, with a minimum two-week waiting period applicable. It also takes longer than usual for airlines to create credit notes for tickets as they are still dealing with increased refund applications due to the coronavirus.
Credit Notes Passed During the First 2 Weeks of the Month:
BSP tickets credit noted in weeks 1 to 2 (01-15th of Month) are “payable” to us on the 31st of month (or last day of the month).

All tickets credit noted in weeks 3-4 (16th – 31st) are payable to us on the 15th of the new month, so those payments are only made on the 15th of the following month.
