As to "flawed IT", in this day and age of automation there is zero excuse for a refund or redeposit to be anything other than near instantanteous. There should be no manual intervention involved. And indeed on previous occasions that has been the case with United too.

Not sure making excuses for United is warranted here.
So it's now happened. Write/call in to fix it, or don't. There's no point in whining here because you won't get your miles or co-pay back through FT. After all, we call it United-dot-bomb for a reason.
