Here's the UA master page listing airline partners. If you click on a partner logo, you'll see a page containing a chart showing the yield for flights taken on partner metal. (It even says explicitly that it's the metal that counts: "The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.")

The cheapest I could find was NYC-Montreal-Frankfurt-Milan. I actually need to get to either Paris or London. Do I have to fly all the way to the end, or I can stop and get out in Frankfurt? I want to buy Ryanair ticket then to my end destination.

Exactly, we've even seen $0.50 fares on transatlantics this year (IB/TK)
If airlines want to play the fuel surcharge scam, they get burned sometimes.
No sympathy.

Finally, I can go back to my routine.
The ticket was purchased at 6:34 pm, Nov. 23, just ticketed at 11:23 am, Nov. 24. Got a fraud warning email at 7:24 am. Took care of this and re-enter the same credit info on Wideroe site. All UA metal flights. Another ticket was purchased early yesterday afternoon and ticketed before 7:00 pm yesterday. Good luck with everyone. Keep your faith!!!
p.s.: The ticket number difference divided by the number of hours between the issued time is slightly above 550.

Did you available balance change? Most AMEX users have noticed the available went down by the amount of the charge they were expecting despite not seeing the charge as pending.

Decisions decisions now that AC tickets are FDing...
As a US Gold until 2014/soon to be AA EXP, i'm trying to figure out whether this is a good idea to fly these 2.9 CPM LGA-YUL-FRA-MXP MRs (no same day turns AFAIK). credit on US before March 1st, and have that count as EQM for AA once FF merge. 8500 miles would be a great start to the year! edit: K fares on AC only accrue 50% when crediting to US.
Pros: possibly get EQM/RDM on US that will then count towards AA, hang out in the LH FRA gold lounge, risotto alla milanese and osso bucco, ridic shopping, the duomo, easy high speed trains to FCO, VCE, FLR...
Cons: Can't credit on US, 2 connections (one of which is 70 minutes at FRA), "wasting" a weekend just to fly for status, slowly losing my soul in Y with no chance for upgrades without significant copay if at all since its AC/LH metal.
