Isn't that true for all flights, no matter how booked?
Not sure what this has to do with UA based on your post - maybe this should go to Travelbuzz? Or is there something UA-specific you haven't mentioned.

DOT rule as mentioned above, but there are some situations that don't require it. These rules apply to all flights on US carriers and all flights to/from the US only, so doesn't apply everywhere (though other countries potentially could have similar regs). DOT rules don't require the hold or full refund for flights booked within 7 days of travel. United's policy, though, doesn't have this close in restriction.
