Am I reading the AA pages right, and to cancel an award flight (redepositing the miles) cost me $150?
I don't see any other costs or risks to this ... yes? I guess I have to wonder; if I book my wife with an AAnytime ticket, then later try to snag a Saver award for the same flight and book it with her name, would this fail since she's already on the flight? Would this require a call in?
