I went ahead and solicited schools that I figured I could get a fee waiver from this morning even though I plan to retake in September. I assume after we get back results from the September LSAT, their inboxes will be flooded with emails and it'll take twice as long for them to get back to me. Received a waiver from Georgetown tonight, so I'm glad I decided to solicit.
Also got Duke PT email today!

It's called a "hidden waiver." Some schools automatically apply waivers via CRS.

We're way behind on school threads. I think we barely have half of the T13 covered.

Michigan app question:
The standardized testing section asks for all LSAT dates. I cancelled June and am retaking in September. Obviously the CAS report will list both with the June score cancelled. Should I include both dates, or just the reportable score date?

Where is it shown? I mean, I read a guide which said that you can see waivers just at the checkout... Is that right?

You should see it as soon as you start the application for Michigan.

That's not true, it showed the $75 fee when I started the app but I didn't see the waiver until checkout right before submitting. See the guide linked in a comment above.

It showed for me as soon as I started the app but that's different from what's linked so it might just be different for different people? Like on the "Active Applications" it says "Fee: Waived" whereas on my Stanford app it says "Fee: $100". I did not have to check out.
I didn't check the active applications tab, so that might show it.

As soon as I started the application I could see that the fee was waived, without filling anything out or checking out.

That's weird. I can't think of a plausible reason why it would be different for different people.

That's how it was for me:
