American Airlines issued us a refund

We bought non-refundable fares to New Orleans, and I was hoping that I could recoup the fare through the Chase Sapphire Reserve trip cancellation insurance. As part of the claim form, we had to show that we filed a claim with the airline. So I applied for the refund, and uploaded the MD notes that hubby was having heart surgery 2 days before the trip.
Today, I received an email that American had refunded us!
What a great surprise.
Now I am hoping that Chase will refund me the $239 for the RCI fee. I paid $99 to reinstate my 30 TPUs.

I thought so too.
Now, since I actually paid with Chase Sapphire Reserve points,a nd AA stated they issued the refund to a credit card (not mine) I will have to see how the points are restored.
