Booking with points - SW/Delta - is it "refundable"?

[cruisin5]

If I cancel a flight booked with points (or points and cash) will the points be returned if I cancel the flight?

Yes for Southwest. I know American used to have a "points reinstatement fee." You'd have to look up the policy for Delta.
