Return leg schedule changed by UA, not able to make it; Re-deposit?
This is the third time UA changed my return leg flight.
Original departure time was 12:30 pm and now it's a 8 am flight. I won't be able to make it and that's the only available flight that day.
Thinking of other means to get to my destination, is it possible to ask UA to redeposit half the miles I paid?

I redeposited miles a year or so ago (though on a RT ticket) after a schedule change of about 4 hours. I received the miles back within a couple of days.
You may need to be careful, however, if you had a stopover on your outbound flight. Stopovers are not permitted on one-way award flights.

now it's been a couple of days and I've yet to see anything back to my account or tax and fees refund. nor did anyone from UA give me a ring..
the rep made it 100% clear in the call that it was because of the change on UA's side that caused me not able to take the flight though.
