What is the fee to change an earlyreturns booking?
I have a roundtrip flight scheduled for this week. I might not be able to go. Does anyone know how much it will cost to have the reward returned to my account for future use? I dont know when i would use it. Thanks

Did you book this flight with 15k (before Sep 15) or 20k miles? If 15k, keep in mind that if you return it to your account, you will have to use 20k for any new flight. (I'm not sure how it works now for changes to reward flights booked at the old miles level.)
