That's not going to work unless there was a big schedule change somewhere.

There's no "money" here.

No, of course not.

What you're trying to do is impossible, which is why it hasn't worked.

If you want a credit for your return flights, you either have to accept the restrictions on them -- you can use them for travel to the origin country -- or first they have to be re-fared as one-way flights. The former is what the UA representative offered.
