There is one caveat -- Flights purchased since March 3 have no residual, so those flights can only be changed but no ETC will be generated if the new flight is cheaper. You should be fine if the cancelled flight was purchased prior to March 3.

No & Yes, as future flight recredit no -- just one. If converted to ETCs, yes.

UA is hinting the present canceled / future flight credits will be convertible to ETCs at some point without purchasing a replacement flight.

In Refunds
Thanks for this information. Is there a place where UA has made these hints that is publicly available?
