I asked where this was written and was told there was nowhere for me to see the info.

No supervisor available due to covid.

Anyone else run into this?
Your miles in your MileagePlus account are safe (they are no longer expiring and Chase isn’t taking them back). Perhaps the agent was not understanding, or they were thinking of miles for charges that have not yet been posted to your UA account? (whenever I cancel a card, I generally avoid building up charges the
last month since they may not post once the account is closed).
