United MileagePlus (Consolidated) - Able to use CO travel cert on CO-coded UA metal

In the past if a CO website reservation included UA metal I was not able to use a CO travel cert to pay part of the fare. Yesterday, making a reservation for two people on a CO-coded UA metal flight I was able to use TWO CO travel certs at the same time to pay for the tickets.

I was able to do the reverse last week, buying a CO metal ticket from UA using a UA E-certificate. I was also able to use two UA E-certs for two passengers on the same reservation, but had to call web help to do so (for some reason the 1K reservation line isn't able to do this).

Now, waiting to see if I can apply CR1's to these tickets before Aug.

Were you able to buy flights with CO numbers, as opposed to United numbers "operated by continental"? I was trying to do so last night for upgrade purposes, but couldn't get the cert accepted for anything but a flight tagged "ua XXXX, operated by Continental." If I didn't input a cert, the flights showed up with CO numbers.

No, it reads 'United 4, Operated by Continental Airlines.' This is a strange flight number for a codeshare. I do have a Continental confirmation number. So can I apply a CO CR1 to this ticket?

To be clear:
So CR1 is not applicable to CO metal yet?

Or is there a special site/hotline to apply this.

I have a CR1 expiring in 36 hrs and would like to apply it to a trip.

....So CR1 is not applicable to CO metal yet?....UA CR1s are not yet usable on CO metal flights -- no backdoor appraoch either.

... So can I apply a CO CR1 to this ticket?was not aware CO CR1s had been issued. Suspect once issued the rules will be a bit clearer.

Looks like so to me on .bomb.
I don't know why. Did they just rolled back their booking system?

I just did a dummy booking and I am able to select both UA and Co flights using a UA e-cert with the discount applied.

Also, there have been some "issues" with e-certs, expiration dates and using them in 2012 discussed over here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/united-mileage-plus-pre-merger/1218756-goodwill-voucher-must-ticketed-used-expiration-date.html?highlight=cert+expiring
