I appreciate it.
None, IMO. If you cancel, you get the miles and taxes back, you pay $150 for redeposit (unless you're EP or the award is canceled by AA or the flight times change significantly - hours or more). Or if you redeposit two awards from the same account, $175. (You have two awards.)

There is no insurable value on the ticket beyond the $150+25 miles reinstatement fee. If you need other insurance - travel delay, cancelation (perhaps because of nonrefundable prepaid hotels and tours), Healy - go to InsureMyTrip.com and check what's on offer.

Moving thread to proper forum. /Moderator
