On United.com, it is a two step process. Click cancel and you are presented with a confirmation about cancellation, how the miles/money will be refunded and the final cancel button. On AA there was no confirmation to cancel. Click that button and it was done. The notice about call AA to get refund happens after it is all over. Took me by surprise.
Yep, award tickets are a different animal, you always have to call to have the miles and taxes/fees refunded.
