As stated here:

Under "Changing Flight Award Tickets" and "Reinstating Award Tickets"

Your best option will be to keep the flight until the final day before cancelling. If AA changes the flight times or if there is a significant delay or cancellation, you have grounds to ask for your miles back without a redeposit fee.

I believe there is still a $150 re-deposit fee regardless if the award is MileSAAver or AAnytime*. AAnytime awards simply are more flexible (i.e., you can change origin and destination, change times and dates, etc.)
