If I cancel an MRU AONE4 - do they have to refund the credit card and then recharge it or can they just credit the amount to a different ticket? If it's the latter that will be a big relief.
Normally it is a refund (which often takes 60 days) and recharge (somehow that is instantaneous); so you have to float double the fare for a month or 2. This is the difference between reissue and refund; but reissue isn't an option if you haven't traveled. At least you don't have the 10% cancellation penalty, that some fares have.
Your bigger problem is getting A inventory again out of MRU, on thin routes the sale of A counts even if it is later cancelled, causing less future A inventory to be made available. A couple of dozen canceled bookings can use up all of the inventory for a year (hence the need to go asking for A to be made available again, instead of being in the system).
