It was an odd change and has not changed the practice refunded to the original method of purchase.

That's not to say that UA wouldn't try to argue the point.
I understood that it meant it would credited as a credit; however, I just cancelled a ticket online (part ETC and part Credit Card) but do not see the ETC back on my account yet. Does anyone know how long does this process take or do I need to contacted United - or was I entirely wrong and I actually lose the funds?
