Now I don't know what's happening with my payment. The flight initially appeared under cancelled itineraries, and now appears under "Inactive" itineraries. I see the following banner, but selecting "Change flights" also errors out. There's still a hold on my payment card, so no idea what's going on.
This has happened with my last two refund attempts.
The reservation is cancelled, but you have to call to get a refund. The agent may tell you the refund has been properly requested, but it has not. You will never get your money back without agent intervention.
