Is this new, or have I been asleep or I suck at searching the forum? I don't recall having seen this option before, when clicking to change a ticket later than 24 hours after ticketing: "Cancel reservation: Save the value of your ticket to use toward another United flight within one year of the original issue date. No change fee will be required."

I'm seeing this on an award ticket that is fully on LX, so if I cancel will I be able to book any partner again, or only UA flights, as the above wording reads?

Again, sorry if I missed an existing discussion.
