One strategy for two forms of payment

Is it possible online, i.e. through United.com?

Is it possible when calling in? (If so, is there an additional call center booking fee?)

Thanks!
Although this might not meet your objectives, you can purchase a ticket with one credit card using the advanced reservation page to select a fare class that might come close to what you want to charge on your first card. Purchase the ticket at that price and then when the ticket confirmation arrives, go back to the reservation and change the ticket to a new fare and you can use a different credit card to pay the difference.
