Award Trip Cancellation -- Miles Redeposit?

[jdross]

Hey there city slickers,

What's the best way to book an award ticket if I may need to cancel it afterwards?

Are there fees to Redeposit the miles and how much? I'm asking across all domestic carriers.

Is there a wiki with all this somewhere on the site?

Thanks,
JD

You reffering to their $75 close-in redeposit fee which is very YMMV if they'll charge you?

Thought I should post this here for people's benefit as I didn't see this anywhere:
A list of 24 hour award cancellation policies.
The good news is that most major airlines currently allow award tickets to be cancelled within 24 hours after booking. But it’s not universal, so I’ve gone ahead and put together a chart of the current 24 hour award cancellation policies for many of the major U.S. airlines.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In most cases, you must book your award ticket at least 7 days before departure to be eligible for these 24 hour policies.

Airline   Award Cancellation Policy
Alaska   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.
American   Does not allow 24 hour cancellations on either revenue or award tickets without a fee.
British Airways   Allows cancellation of award tickets without a fee up until 24 hours before departure (but you do forfeit the taxes).
Delta   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.
Frontier   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.
Hawaiian   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.
JetBlue   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.
Southwest   Allows cancellation of award tickets without a fee at any time.
Spirit   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.
Virgin America   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.
United   Allows 24 hour cancellation of award tickets without a fee.

Meh, would be more useful to know who enforces the 7 day rule.
Only thing that says is AA doesn't give refunds, same as rev tickets booked direct.
