American award: cancel before you fly.
An AAdvantage award can be canceled on aa.com anytime before the first flight leaves. Miles go back. Eligible taxes and fees come back. No fee — as long as you cancel within one year of buying the ticket. Partner trips or trips that already started: call Reservations.

Find the seat. Then transfer.
Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers to airlines and hotels are final. Once the points leave Chase, they cannot be refunded or canceled. Chase itself says make sure the award is available first. Transfer in 1,000-point chunks. Most post by the next business day; some take up to seven.

Delta from the U.S.: cancel is free.
A SkyMiles award that starts in the U.S. or Canada can be changed or canceled before departure. No change fee. No redeposit fee. If the new ticket costs more miles, you pay the extra. Basic awards still take miles. Starting outside the U.S. or Canada can still cost a fee. Do it before the plane leaves.

Cancel the ticket. Miles usually come back.
Once points sit at the airline they do not go back to the card. The award ticket is different. Most programs let you cancel before departure and put the miles back in the airline account. Alaska Atmos: cancel before the flight leaves — points and taxes come back. (A partner booking fee does not.) Flying Blue: miles come back; the fee is usually €70, not $70. From September 8, 2026, Flying Blue Light awards may not refund — check the fare before you book.
