Hello BravoKilo ,

Yes, you will get miles reinstated and fees refunded per the official AA policy:
https://www.aa.com/web/i18n/aadvanta...or-travel.html
If your plans change and you no longer want to travel, you can cancel your trip anytime on aa.com.

We'll reinstate your miles and refund eligible taxes and fees at no charge up to 1 year from the date you purchased your ticket, as long as you cancel before your first flight departs. If you cancel your trip on aa.com, your miles will be reinstated and your refund will be requested automatically in most cases.

Taxes and fees

We’ll refund all taxes and fees in full, except:
  • Sale-imposed nonrefundable taxes
  • Taxes we must pay whether or not you travel
  • When your trip has already started
Some countries have different rules about refunds, and if so, we will follow those rules.

When to call us

Contact Reservations for help reinstating miles on a trip that:
  • Has already started
  • Involves travel on partner airlines
  • Has been changed due to an uncontrollable event since the ticket was originally issued

Usually they get refunded almost immediately, but I have had it not work before. Just check they get refunded for sure and if they don't you will need to call them to get them refunded.
