"You’re also eligible to receive compensation for points and miles redeemed, so long as they come from a program affiliated with a Chase card (like Southwest Rapid Rewards or Hyatt Gold Passport). If the monetary value of your award redemption appears on your itinerary or confirmation, then you’ll be reimbursed that same amount (in cash). Otherwise you’ll receive just 1 cent per point, so try to document the value of those awards however you can. Unfortunately, rewards from unaffiliated programs (AAdvantage, SkyMiles, Hilton HHonors, etc.) are not covered."
I think this is just saying you won't get any compensation from Chase for any AA miles you redeemed for the travel in question; it doesn't say using AA miles mean no coverage for other losses.
