Looks like you are right. I've seen flyertalk threads say that you can at times call in to Customer Service and indicate that you for whatever reason need to cancel that flight and some will let you.

I think a decent workaround is say you took another flight perhaps.

For instance. My flight to Frankfurt from IAD got cancelled on Lufthansa, but I was able to get switched to a United flight. Lufthansa had no idea we made it to Frankfurt and bumped us off the connection to BCN. Of course we got back on, but I bet you could probably use this logic to work in your favor.

But I don't fly enough to ever have had to test out these theories. Only like 5/6 times a year.
