I called in to ask what was going on, and I was told that I had input the name wrong and the only thing they could do is redeposit the miles since they can't correct the name on a ticket. They said since there wasn't anymore availability on one of the flights that they couldn't even rebook it for me. Of course I didn't accept that and I'm not trying to figure out how to proceed.

Is this a common error on United.com? How can this kind of issue be resolved?
This is very common and doesn't need to be corrected. I travel with my first name, middle initial, and salutation squished together all the time. You should be fine as is.
