Luckily I had the ticket numbers (which are the same for the entire itinerary), they entered them manually and all was fine. A sign that it's fixed is that before when I tried to select seats with my itinerary information the system said that the reservation had not been ticketed. Now it works fine.
But I'm going to call in a few days just to be sure.
Interesting - sounds very similar to my post (#33) from my award purchase a week and a half ago, and my OZ flight (Friday night)...
OZ only recognised my ticket when I presented them my 016 ticket number. They couldn't find my rez with the OZ PNR. They couldn't find it based on my (or wife's) name and flight date/number, either.
SQ was even worse - but this all isn't OZ or any partner's systems fault - it's clearly UA's SHARES ticketing system - easily not a classy system to say the least...and one that you have to babysit everything for.
