1. Each year the contract can be renewed by adding additional funds. This action will keep the unused funds active. So, if my initial investment is$40K and only consume $30K. Before contract expires, I renew by adding $20K I would have a total of $30K for the next contract year. Is this right?
2. Amenity points are calculated based on the initial investment. With the example above, I should get $10K amenity points. Would I get another $5K amenity points at the contract renewal? Does renewal of contract also extends the amenity points or do they expire?
3. I used Chase Sapphire Reserve card for travel insurance. I like the fact that I might be able to use the card as partial payment. Does the system clearly identify the penalty for using a non-UATP funds? Are the penalties larger than the discounts?
#1 -- yes, that is correct
#2 -- that is correct regarding what amenity points you will receive. The amenity points expire 12 months after they are awarded, regardless of contract extension.
#3 -- the penalty (that's my term -- UA calls it a "fee") is identified as $100 plus other fees UA incurs as a result of not using the UATP

You can renew with as little as $10K; this is explicitly mentioned in the contract
