The legally safe course of action would be to let the credit expire unused, even after reasonable steps to inform UA.
Should you desire to proceed otherwise, you should seek competent legal advice, from an attorney familiar with the law not only of your jurisdiction, but that applicable to UA contracts.
It is never prudent to accept "legal advice" from anonymous commenters, and this post is not intended as such.
In theory, every matter could benefit from legal advice. But I wonder if the absurdity of spending thousands of dollars seeking out a highly specialized attorneys in this case is intentional sarcasm, or simply your way of expressing distaste at the poster keeping this unexpected gift.
The "legally safe" option is to return the credit? Are you sure? What if it's not necessary? What if it causes some unexpected problem by triggering a review of his account?
You seem quite comfortable offering legal advice.
What's your basis for insisting that the rights he appears to have under consumer law should be summarily waived to the benefit of UA?
