I cancelled an award ticket booked in late February on July 7. Miles were returned to my account promptly but I still have not received the refund for tax/fee. I called today and was told that the tax/fee refund will take 15 business days. Is that true?

There are certain requirements though: solo person on PNR, american flight booked directly through aa.

How long did it take for you to receive the tax/fee refund?

Well a little sooner usually. They seem to process refunds on the 7th BUSINESS DAY starting with day 1 being the day after you request the refund.

Refunds are taking a bit longer than usual due to volume of refunds.

I had several awards booked in March for early April travel before Covid was fully understood. I canceled but AA wouldn’t redeposit without fees. I recently tried again and had no fees via a twitter request ;-)

1 to 2 weeks before it showed up in my account.

Thanks to dynamic pricing, I canceled a ticket booked in June and did a rebook just now on the same flights for 8k less. Really wish there was a better way than cancel, redeposit and rebook, but that's what you have to do I guess.

Yup. Had a flight booked after 07/01 and cancelled a few days later. They’ve now pushed it to where you can book before Sept 1 and still able to cancel with no fees

Quick question, there is no minimum time requirement to cancel an AA award and redeposit miles, as long as you cancel before flight departure, correct?

TwitterAAgents informed me at least 2 hours before the flight.

Question: if I book award tickets for two passengers on a single PNR, am I allowed to cancel just one of the two later? (assume 60+ days out) Or would I need to cancel both and potentially have to re-price the passenger who is still going?

Yes. They'll split the PNR. Each passenger will then have their own.

I booked a short intra-US award in mid July for travelling in May next year, to see if this resets the mile expiration date. It did.

I will now wait until Feb/March next year to cancel the award for free, and reset the expiration date.

AA has moved this date to September 8

Waiving award reinstatement and change fees for award bookings

We’re giving you more flexibility with waived award reinstatement and change fees for awards ticketed by September 8, 2020.

Automatic mileage reinstatement

If your trip is eligible, your miles will be automatically reinstated within 48 hours of canceling your trip online. For all other trips, contact Reservations to have your miles reinstated.

Eligible customers / trips must meet these requirements:
  • Travel is on American Airlines flights only.
  • The ticket was purchased directly with American in the U.S. or via our U.S. website.
  • Travel for any portion of the trip has not begun.
  • No changes have been made to the trip since the ticket was issued.



My Question: Are American Eagle segments included in "American Airlines flights only" per this restriction?
