Does anyone know if I can get a refund for the 2k points I purchased from United?
No, you cannot get a refund on buying miles (United uses miles, not points). But I presume you will need those miles again in the future, so you'll have 2k extra then. Just make sure you know how to keep them expiring. |
However, if you bought Skymiles, the IRS does allow you to write off a worthless asset to create a tax savings.:p
