They need to be 'flexi' to use points/upgrade credits and the 'free' flights are "blue Saver".Has anyone tried to upgrade using points at the checkin counter for the amex free flights?

I'm looking at sending the lady on MEL-BNE-MEL using my free flight on the plat edge, however I've just had a thought. If I cancel, is the credit going with Virgin or Amex?
Thinking if I book, cancel then rebook using the available credit I will get points/SCs (using pooling of course) It's a bit of stuffing around but would tip me over gold!
So how does this credit shell work?
How do I work out how much credit they will give me??? if I cancelled a flight? e.e. SYD-CBR return.
So does anyone have any suggestions on what the most VALUABLE free flight booking is? The ideal situation would be to book the return fare with the highest value, even if it has nothing to do with where you want to go or where you come from. Then you get the maximum credit shell to play around with, and you might even get more than two flights out of it if you want shorter hauls.
I also don't see how it's not worth it if you manage to get a credit shell of $1100
