Covered Trip means any pre-paid tour, trip or vacation when some
portion of the cost for such travel arrangements less any redeemable
frequent flyer miles, points, coupons or certificates, or other types of
redeemable Rewards has been charged to your Account:
• while the insurance is in effect
• to a destination of greater than one (1) mile from your
primary residence
• and is for a time period that doesn’t exceed sixty (60) days
in duration
Rewards means points, miles, cash Rewards, or any other type of
redeemable Rewards, provided that all Rewards have been accumulated
through use of a Rewards program sponsored by Chase Bank USA, N.A.
and/or its affiliates.
You should be able to HUCA AA for a fee waiver though.

AA Doesn't charge cancellation fees, but they do charge a reinstatement fee, which according to the representative is not covered  :(

You can cancel the flights without reinstating the miles. You'll then have a year from original travel to use them for the same route.

Would this work even on web specials?
Booked after 2/29 and will (most likely) have to cancel due to COVID......
