While they cover vouchers issued by an FF program, in combo with an eligible card, there’s definitely no specific wording on award miles/flights, so I assume that’s off (no direct experience). I book award tickets and pay with my CSR since they are supposed to with awards - and have experience having change fees reimbursed (when those were a thing) a few years ago.
oh award flights are covered. Last year I booked with MR through ANA flying ORD-Asia-ORD (1 month stopover)-East Coast and a seperate AA award ticket East Coast-ORD and got delayed in East Coast and was able to get $500/night hotel reimbursed lol

BBB-CCC booked completely with airline credit is definitely ineligible, with no excess payment on Amex, it isn’t going to be covered.
Would this be true? I would really hope that this still constitutes a "combinations of roundtrip and one-way tickets ... charge[d] in combination with your Eligible Card and accumulated points on your Eligible Card or redeemable certificates, vouchers, coupons, or discounts awarded from a frequent flyer program or similar program"
