so surprisingly i did get a call back from the flying returns department this morning....but they continue to give me the run around....the agent kept repeating that united has to refund the miles to me so i have to contact them & tell them to do that....i told him i had already spoken to united & they confirmed that the original booking source has to offer the refund....they cannot do so since its not their ticket....but the flying returns agent refused to acknowledge that....just stuck to his point that ai can't do anything since its a united flight....

i've sent in a bunch of emails to flying retuns....lets see what they come up with now....
