• United Airlines Refund Policy
• The United refund request would be applicable on
  the unused/unflown portion of the ticket. Just
  like this, there are several refund guidelines
  you should consider before claiming the refund
  for your flight booking
• You are eligible for a full refund in case
  requesting a flight cancelling within 24 hours of
  purchase. Only in a situation wherein the
  scheduled departure date is seven days or more at
  the time of cancellation.
• No change or cancellation request is applicable
  on the Basic Economy tickets. However, they are
  eligible for a full refund when cancelled within
  24 hours of booking.
• As per the United cancellation policy, you can
  cancel your flight and claim a refund online via
  the My Trip section.
• For all non-refundable fares, the cancellation
  made before the scheduled departure would be
  charged a per-person cancellation fee. The
  remaining balance will be issued as a travel
  credit, which will be used for travel on the
  dates. The said credit voucher remains valid for
  one year from the booking date.
• For all refundable fares, the cancellation is
  permitted for the full value of the fare minus
  the per-person cancellation fee. If the flight is
  not cancelled or changed before the scheduled
  departure, the value associated with the flight
  segment would be converted into the travel
  credit.
• A number of factors determine the refund amount.
  For example, based on the fare rule associated
  with the bookings, the unused portion of the
  flight segment will be calculated on the basis of
  a prorated amount. The cancellation fee and other
  taxes would be applicable.
• Requests for credit card refunds will be
  processed within seven business days. All other
  refund requests will be processed within 20
  business days.

  you will get the refund in the original payment
  method in 7-10 business days.
