It would be much simpler, if they would just issue a travel certificate (or MCO) when you cancel a non-ref ticket for the value less $100.

I wrote AA with just this suggestion---saying I would not object to the new rules at all if they would go to something like this.
It all goes to prove the dolts running the big 6 aren't really interested in whether people are calling to cancel or not. they're interested in extorting multiple change fees [by forcing you to re-ticket at the moment of cancellation, which leaves you open to yet more fees if your plans aren't really set yet] or 100% penalty...
