Please tell me which US airline other than Southwest gives a full refund (even if it's in the form of airline credit) on a no-frills basic economy ticket to a passenger without special status after 24 hrs of booking the ticket. The last I checked most of them charge change fee to the tune of 150-200 dollars. Moreover, if you get it in the form of airline credits it's further restricted in the sense that the credit is available only to the person under whose name the ticket was booked. So if I book tickets for my daughter and pay for them and have to cancel them, I can't use that money other than to buy a ticket for my daughter on the same airline in the next 12 months.

In the comment you are replying to, I specifically said "I have to re-use them within 12 months, and the airline deducts a change fee from the value before making the deposit." Changeable with a fee is not the same as non-changeable. Yes, there's a penalty, but if the original ticket was $500, you can still re-use more than half of the value. Even on fully changeable tickets, with no fee, you can't assign them to another passenger. You'd have to have a refundable ticket, get the refund, and then buy another ticket. But I don't think I ever implied differently?
