Have any of you had an issue doing this for x amount of times?
Thoughts if I do this again a couple of times more? Would that cause trouble?
Thanks all and good day!
The only risks are on the delay of how long the redeposit might take, or the award availability itself.
If there's 0 award availability and you cancel, someone else might book and take the last of the award inventory before you rebook.
Redeposit doesn't always happen instantly after cancellation, so you *may* end up having to call to force the redeposit so you can rebook the flight again before availability disappears.
Otherwise, cancel and rebook to your heart's content.
