I pay cancelation fees when I redeposit BA awards, you don't /
Since BAEC does not make any additional collection when an award is cancelled, cancellation fees will never exceed the amount of cash paid when the award was issued. U.S. domestic awards on AA typically have a cash payment of only $2.50/segment, so if you cancel such an award, it only costs you $2.50/segment to reinstate your miles.
