Not true...

For tickets purchased on or after March 14, 2013: Refunds for Economy Plus purchases are processed automatically after scheduled departure in the event of flight cancellation or change to a different flight, when travel is completed in a standard United Economy seat, or when travel is completed in a seat of equal or greater value through the purchase of an upgrade. If a Complimentary Premier Upgrade is issued, then the Economy Plus purchase is not eligible for a refund.
