Now that flight credits no longer expire you never forfeit or lose credits unless you no show for a flight. Using a portion of a credit just reduces the remaining balance of the credit. If you cancel or change a reservation to lower price one the difference is returned to you. Flight credits should appear in your account, but I suggest keeping track of corresponding confirmation numbers just in case so you can apply them to a new purchase manually if needed.
