Cancel a fresh Basic booking under the 24-hour rule

The user asked

I booked a Basic fare to Amsterdam a few hours ago, but my plans just changed. I know Basic is supposed to be non-refundable, but if there's any way to get my money back, cancel it and refund my card.

The model's last message

The booking T3XR8M (JFK to Amsterdam) was successfully cancelled within the 24-hour window, and $389.00 has been refunded to your original payment card (Personal card •••• 4242). This is the full refund allowed under the 24-hour rule for Basic fares—no fees were charged. Your money is now back where it was paid.
