Just a data point for those who booked via Expedia.
Called Expedia. Explained to them this was an error that ET made and they have opted not to honour the tickets. The agent called ET and sent a receipt for full refund after 10mins on the line.
Refund showed up in 3 days. Only lost a mere $4 to exchange rate. Much easier than the last AZ farce.

Has anyone successfully canceled the reservation this way and received full refund? If not I'll speak to an agent later since my reservation is still showing up.

Still no email, booking still shows but reading this thread makes me want to cancel but I promised myself I'll give this one a shot as I haven't technically got in a mistake fare this big before.
I'll be so annoyed getting yellow fever shots in BKK for no reason lol...

Am familiar with the charge back processes, but over $4 seems to be an incredible waste of human resource, regardless of whoever is at fault.
I've no issue with ET or any airline for that matter. I take all of these as cost of participating in an EF. If it is honoured, I save thousands. If it is not, I lose a couple of dollars. Pretty fair in my opinion.

FWIW - Here is the issue... everyone who has posted here seems to have been refunded a little less than what they paid. A little odd Maybe they are playing with the exchange rate a little bit. Maybe it is normal fluctuations. But, everyone 'lost' a few dollars. I went ahead and disputed it.

I am amazed that people think that wanting all our money back is somehow wrong. I guess those criticizing us would not reach down and pick up $4 if they dropped it on the ground. Y'all are richer than me.
