Five us have YLW-MCO-YLW booked for mid April 2020, obviously cannot go now even if we wanted to, have no wish to rebook for other dates as the purpose of going was shut down (Tropical 7's Rugby Tourney), so would like a full refund back payment source (Amex Plat) as opposed to a travel bank credit.
I had a full fare premium ticket refunded. It was an accident. I usually buy the restricted premium but in this case I was travelling with someone else and he snagged the last restricted fare. I was fuming mad at the time but in the end I came out ahead because he got credit and I got a refund when we had to cancel.
