Actually I did go back and reread the T&C for the Pres Plus Card and it does say the following:
If you are already a United Club or Presidents Club member before you are approved as a Cardmember, you are eligible to receive a refund for any unused portion of your current membership (including Presidents Club Spouse memberships) as long as the refund is greater than $15. Your refund will be based on the number of days remaining on your current membership. Refund checks will be automatically mailed by United or Continental in 6–8 weeks.
So I guess I'll have to wait and see how they'll handle it since I bought my membership with miles instead of cash.
