Yes. With LM, considering the BS you get (as seen on this thread), my mantra is to book what I actually intend to fly!
The days of $50 cancel fees were great, but these days, not worth the risk of snagging award tickets and then cancelling them.
If it is an emergency leading to cancellation, then an additional 200 USD is small change in the grand scheme of things.
