United doesn't charge anything like this.

United does charge fees though https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...ticketing.aspx , though is to a max of $125

For a single redeposit AA is more expensive, but not by much for travel within 2 months. For multiple tickets, UA can be easily more expensive

There is no fee for date changes. Are you able to do the trip on another date within a year?
