Award buckets go back to the flights when they are canceled. So it is why there are no award tickets at this moment at best.

Also, if you are holding several awards for me that would be tying up around a quarter of a million points. That could equate to you letting UA keep about $5k in their coffers instead of yours (YEMV).
