Yep the scanner initially said no, and when I questioned it because it was the same calendar day, I got the explanation above about how EWR wasn't part of the Polaris itinerary and so therefore no access.

BTW the separate SFO-EWR ticket in my case was a paid business class ticket. I suppose one might think that if they were going to overrule the scanner that would be the kind of scenario that might trigger it. But no dice.
I don’t have a problem w/ UA doing this. What if SFO-EWR was an economy ticket or cheap P fare to circumvent a higher SIN-SFO-EWR fare? UA probably doesn’t want to reward such cleverness.
