However, since I don't work for them, I can't officially say they definately will or not. It couldn't hurt to try.
No go on this. They did confirm that cancel/rebook would work. Just have to see if it's worth going that route. Would require either changing the return flight to the later nonstop (which actually was pricing $10 less than original a few hours ago, for a net of only $15 to get the points) or connecting or choosing same flights and paying $40 more plus the $25 change fee to get a flight in the future. Even that 65 bucks is still not bad for a roundtrip anywhere in the system, I suppose, but it's a bit more of a gamble than free.
