Wow, UA stinks on that one, I think! Gee, I wonder why THAT isnt considered "activity" in one's account, thereby resetting it for another 18 months or whatever it is now! I mean, especially since you PAID for the transaction to redeposit them. Did you ever inquire about this? Maybe you still can/ought to try?...
