So my UA 84 flight is cancelled for this week (also foreigners aren't permitted into israel now) booked with UR and would like refund, chase rep called UA and they refuse to issue refund because they put me onto next flight at 8PM they only allow refund if flight is 6+ hours changed or cancelled which most likely won't happen, any ideas how to get refund here? Thanks.
What's your return flight?

I’m sure that wasn’t the only reason, but you got a point that it’s exactly under 6 hours from UA 84 & 90!

Yup, so they changed UA90 to 8PM to prevent refunds.. pretty witty

Had this been LY, Dan would've posted on the main site bashing United for circumventing refunds..

Lol, how do you not see a difference where one maybe scheduled a flight to avoid giving cash refunds. Vs one that isn't giving refunds on canceled flights?? And he's called united out on all schemes they made trying to circumvent paying people.

No, you're just bad at reading. Promoting and limiting isn't a promise. That's why some US flights are now full to capacity and silly people are whining that there flights are full.

At any rate, United confirmed all this:

And the guy who was complaining was flying for free.

Well this didn't age well, though neither did the original thread:

Sorry. Correct, it seems like United has their fair share as well.

Just feel like you bash Elal more than they deserve. But I guess it's just a feeling...

Btw, Lufthansa group also didn't give refunds until recently..

I tell it like it is every time. I don't have sacred cows. I'd guess that I bash United more than El Al, especially since Kirby took over. I bashed United relentlessly during the Smisek era.

People have feelings when they have tunnel vision and only want to see what they want to see, but I bash all airlines when they deserve to be bashed.

Btw, Lufthansa group also didn't give refunds until recently..


My focus is on US/Israel, not every airline in the world.

I think some people mistakenly think we need to be more understanding with them because they’re Jewish/Israeli. They deserve to be bashed just like anyone else, and there just happen to be many reasons to bash them for. I believe the reason for many of their faults, is that they think we’ll let them get away with things we wouldn’t let other airlines do. They should be on the same standard as their North American competitors, and Dan does a great job comparing them and demanding that standard.
For that reason, I especially appreciate when Dan bashes them for flying on Shabbos, and constantly mentions that the reason they don’t fly on Shabbos is solely financial, not ideological. Our attitude toward them should be the same.

Yep so they cancel my original afternoon flight put on next flight and move the night flight back a few hours and tell me we only refund if flight is 6+ hours later what a joke and they get away with it, btw hard to even do HUCA because was done with UR so only the UR agent gets to talk to the united rep.
