UA charges $200 to redeposit. AA - $150. If re-depositing multiple awards back to same AA account during the same call, each subsequent redeposit fee is $25 after the first $150. With UA, it adds up quickly if $200 per ticket.
I am confused about UA award travel cancellation policy. I tried booking with miles and cancelled almost immediately. The miles went back to my account automatically and there was no redeposit fee. Why is there no fee? Thanks.
