"use their discretion."
My inquiry was sent on April 4.

We're sorry to hear about any discrepancy with your bag fees. Our airport agents use their discretion to collect bag fees according to our policy. While we're unable to refund bag fees, we apologize for any inconvenience.
Please know there are many different bag fees according to the type of ticket you purchase, credit card used for ticket purchase, and your MileagePlus status.
We appreciate your business and hope to offer you a better experience on your next trip.
Did you send this to customer care or to refunds? That looks like a customer care response. You want united.com/refunds and advise you were charged a bag fee in error (attach the original receipt showing your two baggage allowance for the itinerary).
