(I tried to search this thread, but didn't see anything - sorry if I missed it).
That is still the case. I accidentally found that out after I had to cancel a trip. Keep in mind that you will have to pay to redeposit the points. If you are booking a business class anytime award and then canceling then it is definitely worth the $150 to keep the points.
