If i cancel domestic award reservation- is there a fee? or will i get miles redeposited for free? When I am trying to do it it says there MAY be a $150 redeposit fee.

Within 24 hours, no fee. After, $150 and down depending on status.

If you have no status it's gonna cost you. You can try to PUTPAC, maybe Mr. HUCA, and try to get a rep that is gonna redeposit for free.

I booked a RT (in two parts- two OWs) ewr-lax in Biz. One was 25K saver, one was 50K. I already paid the $75 last minute fee on each one. Supposed to leave tonight, but the meeting was changed. I don't yet know the date, but it will be in 1-2 months.
Is is best to cancel and pay the redeposit fee?
Is there a way around the date change fee?
Can I combine the record locators into one RT to save on fees?
Any answers or other suggestions would be REALLY appreciated!

If u change an award ticket to within 21 days do I need to pay close- in fee on top of change fee?

You have 24 hours from ticketing. Proceed with fear, my son.

FTFY?

Yup, thanks.

Unless, even cancelling within 24 hours is fear-inducing, of course

I booked an award ticket on UA and the first leg of my trip had a schedule change and it now arrives after my connecting flight is supposed to take off. The website indicates that I can change that segment with no fee.

Would I be able to cancel my ticket and redeposit for free as well the entire ticket including the return? Did I get lucky that I can now cancel for free? I am not elite btw. Thanks.
