Booked a flight in March with chase points that I cancelled bc if covid (~75k pnts). United told me I needed to re book in a year. I called to see if they could extend, they gave me a voucher for ~$1k that lasts for 2 years. Just got a notification from chase that my flight was cancelled and they refunded all the points. I now see the voucher and the redeemed points on the apps.

Did I get lucky and get to keep both or is chase/United going to realize when I try to redeem one or the other?

Anyone else seriously considering retiring early (ie 45-50)? Looking to long-term budget travel once the kids graduate. I’m 30 now so I’m sure technology will have the ability by then to still remain engaged on a part-time basis.
