When you buy the ticket, you choose more money, less miles up to "the sweet spot" where the miles you are effectively buying cost 1.5 cents per mile exactly. You book you ticket, pay for the miles plus taxes plus $25 booking fee. Later on when you cancel, you get back the taxes, get charged $50 for cancellation, but keep the miles you had bought during the earlier redemption process ( at 1.5 cents per mile). Your total cost is therefore 1.5 cent per mile plus the fixed fee of $75.
