Wow, that is definitely not the situation that I was in. This seems different. As I stated earlier, UA charges your cc lickety split for anything. If it hasn't been charged, you might not need to be too worried. If it were me, when there is time to wait on hold on speakerphone while you do something else, I would call Reservations, give them the record locator and tell them you'd like to cancel it. Just to close the loop.
And stop doing dummy bookings on ua.com for a while

If you must, do it somewhere relatively safe like Priceline! I'm going to take my own advice. There are too many weird things happening with UA right now.

Seriously, though, these types of computer issues are not very reassuring.
You could get into a physical altercation with GA's. Joking, but... did you read the LAX-EWR meltdown thread? My next trip isn't until lucky April 13- I hope everything is close to normal by then.
