  • After 24 hours, I consider the minimum now the change/redeposit fee I as a customer would have been charged if I had made a mistake. They make you pay that in new fresh money, too, so I'm not sure that's uncalled for here either? Again, their policy, it should work both ways.

I've been stung by UA's rules and inflexibility many times over the years, so I don't have a lot of compassion now. But yes, I would have let it go on Monday, no questions asked.
