Sorry, where is this speculation that folks can't get a refund? From the UA exception policy page:

Refunds:

Refunds are permitted for processing to the original form of payment and must be requested from United Airlines. Go to www.united.com/refunds and submit the refund form.
Policies also apply to consolidator, internet tickets, and MileagePlus® award tickets.
So how is it that people aren't getting refunds if they want, exactly?
