I don't believe so. The amount is too perfect, $30 for each ticket, and that would be a severe devaluation of the $ given the amount ($30/$210.50). And I used a no foreign transaction fee CC. That shouldn't matter as the tickets were purchased on Emirates' US website and prices were in USD. The phone agent didn't have the answer but thinks I was mistakenly changed a cancel fee. The only cancel fee in the fare rules is $50 for a no-show.
I am just more frustrated with the process: cancel ticket, request refund, email the Maldives ticket office. Seems like it would be easier just to cancel and refund over the phone.
