No you did not break a rule. I've gifted quite a few instruments. It's expressly allowed so long as there's no quid pro quo.
To follow-up. I did call the 1K line. The issue is that you are no longer allowed to use GPU to waitlist for an upgrade from J to F (I think that there is no F standby list at all). Probably noted in a thread on here that I missed (I know that there are threads about UA getting rid of F, but I didn't realise the implications on using GPU for J to F on UA metal (where it is currently showing as a three-class plane)).
