God, I've done that loads of times and didn't even think of that as an option! Maybe it's because I have to be away for 90 days. How would that now work?

That's why I posted it. This is my experience. A confusing experience. And i'm sure many others have had the same happen to them - or will have the same happen to them. Hence the post.
