Refund for pre-paid upgrade that didn't happen
Paid with miles and $ for a wait listed upgrade on United that didn't happen. Will UA automatically refund my credit card or must I call or send a request?
Thanks.
Thanks.

United owes me points on a trip taken last fall. I made my first request at the end of October (to Continental) and by February had received a reply that the points would be posted. But the Continental-UA merger was ongoing and I have heard nothing from UA since, despite monthly e-mail requests. So don't hold your breath.
However, you do have another option. Make a formal complaint now to your credit card for non-fulfilment of service. It won't retrieve your points but you might get some cash, or some leverage.

As an aside, I'm not a fan of the post-integration practice of collecting the co-pay at the time you request an upgrade if the upgrade is waitlisted. If/when the upgrade clears, okay...but even that is a change for pre-integration United flyers.
For our last trip with failed upgrades (fortunately before this started), it would have amounted to giving United an $1800 loan for 9 months (3 people x "L" fare co-pay for US-Asia).
Good luck to the OP on the refund.

I waited for several weeks and was assured three times that my refund of taxes on a ff ticket were refunded. I finally got in touch with Chase and they immediately credited my cc and got it straightened out with BA. BA had posted the refund to an incorrect account for some reason??? Who knows what the computer input person does??? Have your documentaion and email customer service at you bank/cc carrier.
