I see a few posts in this thread saying instant ... I just cancelled a flight, and points were not redeposited yet (logged out/back in, waited 15 minutes).
Perhaps because I changed the FF# on the flight to my United number (for a Lufthansa flight), things got lost?
Usually it is instant, always have been for me. If you're in a rush to book, give them a ring.
