Still all other tickets - domestic and ex-Asia at least - are showing that I'm eligible for full refund. All my tickets are one-way basic Y award.
The 9,900 mile and 19,900 mile deductions on BE awards are not supposed to be origin specific. I don't believe they are actually enforcing the deductions from any origins. The deductions are also documented on this page -- https://www.delta.com/us/en/baggage/overview. Although it's not entirely consistent with Delta Pro announcement (where both US/Canada and short-haul international to Mexico/Caribbean/Central America are listed as subject to 9,900 mile deduction).
