Refund for taxes on canceled award?
I've never done this, so I thought I'd ask people who might have:
When you cancel an award and pay the re-deposit fee, does CO at least refund you the taxes and fees for the award ticket?

Yup...takes a few weeks to get credited back to your CC, but it does get refunded.

On a similar note about taxes...
I usually use Continental miles for trips to Colombia, which usually comes with a $21 "co-pay" for taxes, fees and such (as recently as August 2002). I just booked the same flights as before for tomorrow, but using Northwest miles (thank you Sprint) and was charged a $44 "co-pay". Does anyone know if they've significantly raised the amount of taxes/fees one must pay? or if Continental actually absorbed them.

When I refunded an award ticket recently, I received a statement in the mail from CO telling me the amount to be refunded, and that it would be processed to my card in 4-6 weeks!

Last week, while arranging another award ticket, I was going through some notes in my computer and came across the old unrefunded ticket. Since I was calling OnePass anyways, I figured I'd bring up the matter of this unrefunded ticket again.
Two days later I was pleasantly surprised to finally see the refund on my Amex.
