Forcing a specific fare basis on UA.com?

I'm in the strange position of wanting to pay more for the same flight . Specifically, I'm trying to book a short segment to make my PQD requirement. The fare showing on united.com is a couple dollars too low, but on Matrix, I can force it to give me a fare that's about $10 more. Both fares book into the same inventory bucket, so I can't force united.com to display it just by restricting the booking code. I can book the fare on Flightnetwork via bookwithmatrix.com (unfortunately, when I try the same with Priceline, it reprices it to the cheapest available fare), but I'd rather use united.com or another site that offers free 24 hour cancellation (Flightnetwork doesn't seem to offer it on this particular fare). Is there any way to do so?
