I am not sure who you are asking, but MyPoints does have a current redemption option for 2,500 UA miles -- on its website -- I redeemed some points for this a couple of days before Cornroaster did.
C/R -- you will note that I mention the MyPoints option in the United thread for the 1,000 mile bonus.
Furthermore, the UA website itself indicates that Mypoints is an earning partner for UA - with a 750 point bonus signup if you are a new member.
I sincerely doubt that it is no longer a partner as has been reported to you -- what you have reproduced in writing says nothing of the sort -- only that the 5,000 mile option is no longer available.
I redeemed 5,100 MyPoints for 2,500 UA miles in late October 2010, and it has hit my UA account, so I very much doubt that its demise has occurred.
