This would normally be just a future flight / travel credit, not an ETC. Check in your cancelled flight listing
This reservation has been canceled. To use any remaining value toward a future flight, please select the button below.
A travel waiver is in effect for your reservation.
and attempt to rebook (just the first step) "Future Flight Credit"

If the "future Flight Credit" does not error out, you probably have no ETC coming.

As a second issue, if an ETC, the email deleivery has traditional been spotty, appears some agents miss a step. Calling with the original PNR can verify ETC existence and request to resent.

Yes the free 24 hour cancel is still operative. Clear DOT requirement
