@cycling_on_rails@mastodon.social This is how it works, but I’m not sure I’d call it a loophole. Well, maybe the fact that many operators seem very eager to get you to click that cancel button.
Rule 1 when I help people in these situations is to keep the original contract of carriage, as that’s the key to all reimbursements etc for actually making it to the destination. Only cancel if you decide not to travel at all.

@stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social @partim@social.tchncs.de For reference the email they sent when canceling. There's time pressure (part of the borderline practice!) as they upfront mention 2 days to cancel. So better do it now to avoid forgetting. When in reality the TGV ticket isn't valid as is anymore anyway because you always need to book a seat on alternative TGV connections. So I don't get why you shouldn't be automatically reimbursed if you don't take action. I could try to expense the hotel with the bottom link though.
