How can I get this receipt if I buy the ticket on united.com?
In the past, I don't remember getting a receipt when I've purchased tickets on United.com and I think that if I get a receipt at the airport, it would be for the business class ticket cost.
Thanks,
as others have noted, print your e-rectp from the link in "my itineraries" but to show your employer the "true y" recpt, print the e-rcpt as soon as you make the reservation/the reservation is made for you and then apply for the upgrade as once you apply the u/g, the u/g will also show on your e-recpt.
n.b. your profile doesn't say if you have any status with ua but if you do and this is a domestic 3 cabin flight (or has a domestic leg of an international flight), you will be automatically put in for an u/g under the udu program prior to submitting a supported u/g request and the u/g request will show on the original "y" e-recpt
