The term lose-it amount refers to residual value under what condition?

• A. The residual value of an exchange transaction that is not being returned to an ARC accredited agent's client and it is not being issued on a MCO.
• B. The residual value of a new ticket.
• C. A refund to the client.
• D. The value of the old document.

Answer: (A)

The need-to-know idea is about the leftover value from an exchange when nothing is refunded to the passenger and no MCO is issued. In ARC processing, when a ticket is exchanged, there can be a residual amount—the unused value that remains. If that residual value isn’t returned to the client and isn’t issued as a Miscellaneous Charge Order (MCO), it’s recorded as the lose-it amount. This term specifically describes that situation of unused exchange value that stays with the agency rather than being passed back to the client or issued as an MCO.
