Default United Agents Refused This- Policy Change?

About the only thing you know is you ask the CA for a ride. The rest you seem unfamiliar with.
I tried to do this recently at a major united hub for an international flight, check a bag and jumpseat. We can't list for the jumpseat on UA on myidtravel ahead of time, and the agents said I can only list for the jumpseat at the gate, not at the ticket counter, and I can't jumpseat with a checked bag. Obviously this is wrong, and it caused me to miss the flight.

Any actual guidance from UAL for this? They actually went as far as to say I'm not even supposed to jumpseat unless it's to go to work, can't be personal use. Very strange interaction for trying to OAL jumpseat on UA with a checked bag. Basically told me the only way to check it is at the gate and if you can't get the big bag through security it's your problem. Is there a workaround or solution for this?
