Booking International with points.
 
I seem to recall issues when trying to get a refund on the taxes with these reservations. Is that still the case? If I book with points and pay the tax, is the tax fully refundable, or is it held for future use?

Everytime I had to pay the taxes and fees. Never heard of it being refunded

So, when you cancelled an international flight, they kept all the taxes and fees?

Were you able to use them for future flights?

I had to cancel an international RR ticket 5 months ago and got every RR point back and all monies refunded. Just try that on any other airline!

Hoping that was a Wanna Get Away fare? If so, that is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
