That issue I would say is not so clear / obvious to someone booking an upgrade. The award redeposit fees are almost so strongly associated with *tickets*, that it even came as a surprise to me that mileage upgrades could incur a redeposit fee...

True...wasn't looking at the status as a 1k, yeah, wouldn't have a fee.

Does anyone know if United still charges a fee for canceling an upgrade award and redepositing? The link in post #9 doesn't list this category, but the T&C when I go to do the upgrade says:
"To cancel or change your MileagePlus Upgrade Award, or if you cancel or change your flight, you also need to call the United Customer Contact Center, as the MileagePlus Upgrade Award will not be automatically canceled or changed. Award redeposit fees may be applicable."
