If I were to book a trip on miles for this summer and select the economy web saver rate, am I covered by the current protections for tickets purchased by the end of May. Just curious what would happen if we need to cancel the trip because of a virus related reason? It says that there would be a fee to reinstate the miles. What is that fee normally?
A search of "web special" revealed this very relevant thread from this month which I believe answers your questions.
The mileage reinstatement fee is the same for web specials as normal awards: $150 per ticket + $25 for each subsequent ticket reinstated to the same account at the same time. That is until the new fees kick in on June 1.
