OK, this was about five or six years ago, so things may be different now.

Bought a ticket through a consolidator in Houston using a CC, but in the end decided not to go knowing that I could get a refund minus $250 cancellation fee for Premium Laurel.

Took about two months for the check from TA / consolidator to arrive after I cancelled. Did fly about a year before this cancelled trip, but never did get all the miles credited to CO.
