Way to reference the only LH fare class (K) that doesn't credit, with no indication that's what OP would get

Most of the time the fare class will map straight across UA => LH.

OP should check his ticket after booking to confirm that it's not booked as an LH K. But that's a very unlikely result here, particularly with a $2100+ ticket.

That's just flat wrong. If OP books the UA codeshare, a T, S, or L will credit 100%.
