CERTAIN AIRLINES HAVE TAKEN THE POSITION THAT THEY MAY VOID AIRLINE AWARDS AT THEIR DISCRETION, AT ANY TIME. IF ANY SUCH VOIDING OCCURS, (name of travel agency) WILL REFUND TO PURCHASER THE PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF THE PRICE PAID WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS." (b) For the purposes of this section, "airline award" means any coupon, certificate, voucher, benefit, or tangible thing promised, given, sold, or otherwise transferred by any airline to a consumer in exchange for mileage, credits, bonuses, segments, or other units of value credited to the consumer as an incentive to fly on the airline.
