Source please?

I am trying to decide between paying $49 for a BE fare and 4000 miles + $6. There is a good chance that I'll have to cancel. What I want above all is not to have to hassle to get the ticket value back. It looks to me like if I cancel the $49 revenue ticket, I won't get a refund, but instead a limited time, restricted-to-the- original-passenger-voucher. No thanks. OTOH, if I book even a BE award ticket and cancel (can it still be done online?) I get the miles back no hassle, along with the taxes.

Is this right? TIA for your help!

ETA: This datapoint at Reddit suggests BE is refundable: https://www.reddit.com/r/awardtravel..._award_travel/
