I believe you can cancel and get a refund so long as you give at least 24 hrs notice, that's what Pearson told me a couple days ago via their support chat client.
Oracle Certification Program Policies wrote:Cancellation Policy
If you wish to cancel your exam, you must contact Pearson VUE one business day prior to your exam appointment. Canceling an exam less than 24 hours before scheduled exam is subject to a same-day forfeit exam fee. Exam fees are due for no-shows.

1/ If you have used the promotional code and paid directly to Pearson Vue (using a credit card), you'll get a refund for the amount you have paid (if you cancel one business day prior to your exam appointment).
2/ If you have used the promotional code and a voucher, you'll probably have to reschedule your exam before December 31, 2015; otherwise the voucher will become void and you won't get any refund at all.
