Additionally, is there some way to see the fare class before paying for the flight? I couldn't figure out how to see it when booking on the site.

I do it all the time, as I have *G status with United but the accrual is better with SQ when flying SQ. You raise an interesting question however - if you check-in under one FF program, is it possible to change the FF program on the booking oneself prior to boarding (I don't mean asking the airline staff)?
