Something's not correct. The redeposit fee (same fee as award change fee) is waived for CP. Cancel and redeposit the miles, get the refund for taxes, and book a new award. It's what you have to do anyway since US is unable to change a *A award without canceling the ticket and starting over. Well, they can if it's all US metal, but who does that willingly?

We waive the mileage redeposit fee of $150 ($250 for transatlantic/transpacific itineraries) for totally unused award tickets for our Chairman's Preferred members.
