i assume you haven’t started this journey. Make sure that when you call they understand it is a UA FF#. They maybe entering it as another KF#.
AFAIK in most systems *A FF# validation doesn’t happen when you enter it. It happens during booking and while checking in. So unless they enter fewer or more digits which could be a system check the TA should not get any error message.
If you don’t want to take chances at the check in counter in the airport... HUACA.
BTW as long as you do it before the GA swipes your BP you will be fine. I’ve changed FFP on the phone while standing in line to board. It wasn’t with SQ though.
