No, they will only allow you to rebook on flights with open award inventory. Not a chance to get revenue seats. Even within the 14 days window, they usually refuse to rebook into revenue seats. Hell, even for next day, they usually brush you off. In my experience, it only works without problems for same day cancellations where the flight is already under airport control.
