Hopefully its a matter of semantics. You may not be able to get the $250 voucher value back in the form of a voucher, but maybe you've got $250 ticket value which can be applied to another ticket. I'd call UA, reference the ticket #, and see what they say as far as applying the unused ticket to a new ticket.

Also, there may be a difference if the cert you got originally from UA is a "discount cert" (which loses its value in the situation you describe based on my experience) versus a "travel voucher" which appears to survive. In other words, the ticket you originally bought probably won't show a "ticket value" inclusive of the "discount cert" whereas if you used a "voucher", the "ticket value" will include the voucher value.
