Canceling a flight booked with points?

Short version - I have a 1W flight booked with points and I also paid $50 to upgrade to an aisle seat up front

Can I cancel and get any of my points and/or seat fee back? Flight was booked weeks ago and is on 9/29.

TIA for any input.

I was wondering the same since I have an IAD-JFK round trip flight on Saturday and since I am flying back and forth the same day and there is bad weather forecast for that day so I am now wondering whether I am better off taking the flight that leaves early morning versus mid-morning. My ticket is alway an award with money paid for the Even More Space/More Speed premium. I don't fly JetBlue often and last time I flew when there was the threat of a winter storm they cancelled everything whereas Delta kept flying and luckily it was a very odd situation where I happened to also have a return flight on Delta so I just took the refund on JetBlue.

So does this mean that I will lose 100$ per person if I book an award for a ticket costing 150$
or, like Southwest, the points can be freely canceled and redeposited?
