Question: Platinum Medallion award redeposit fee waiver.
I understand that, as a platinum medallion, I don't pay award redeposit fee if I want to cancel an award ticket booked with Delta.
My question is, if I use my skymiles to book a DL award ticket for someone else (for example, family member), does the Platinum Medallion award redeposit fee waiver applies if I cancel the (family member's) DL award ticket later (i.e. Do I pay award redeposit fee if I cancel someone else's DL award ticket that's booked using my skymiles)???

Also note, an award ticket booked with you as the passenger from a non-DM/PM account would still be subject to the redeposit fee.

Note also that what matters here is PM/DM status of the account holder at the time the award ticket is cancelled, not when the ticket is booked or the scheduled date of travel.

Bumping this up (didn't find a thread that was better).
What happens if we are on the same PNR but my wife can't go. In this case we have a family trip this summer and the award pricing is decent so I'd like to lock it in but there's a chance with work that my wife can't come.
Will I be able to cancel and redeposit just her ticket (sans fee as a PM) or would I have to cancel for both of us and risk paying a higher price for mine? I guess it comes down to whether they will split the PNR to facilitate canceling
