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.

Minor correction: The DOT 24-hour reservation requirement applies to all airlines (domestic and foreign) who market their flights to consumers in the U.S., regardless of routing. If you'd like more details, see the guidance document linked above.
