Again, if I could travel from point A to B, then point A to C instead of a valid A to B to C open jaw, then great. But that's not allowed, so I'd rather have the miles back
You can't use an award ticket to go from A to B, then from A to C. You can however go from A to B and C to A, subject to the rules of open jaws mentioned above - that the unflown portion must be less miles than either of the flown portions.
