United may, but shall have no obligation to, send a Member a notification of TravelBank Cash nearing or subject to expiration."....
Ancient, out-od-date rule and the actual expiration depends on how the fund got into the Travel Bank -- see wiki for examples.
If you used a credit card to purchase TB funds, you have 5 years

Believe this is considered by same US states as a gift card and many states forbid expiration in less than 5 years While other states are less but easier for UA to use the longer requirement for all.
