Refundable fares are always refundable . . . not just within the first 24 hours.
I think thats why they are called refundable fares

It's actually non-refundable fares that are refundable if cancelled within the first 24 hours. If you use nonrefundable exchange funds, PLUS a credit card upgrade to purchase a new nonrefundable fare - the upgrade portion is refundable for the first 24 hours.

If you purchase a new nonrefundable fare all with a credit card, then the whole thing is refundable for the first 24 hours.
