However, when I look at the cancel options in United, it only shows the cost of the standard Economy ticket back to a FFC, no mention of the E+ bundle.

Luckily, this is a flight I'm planning to take anyways so worst case scenario I've spent $17 out of pocket for E+.

Maybe to get the cancel for FFC option it can't be a bundle and has to be just the seat selection alone?
