But if I book multi city ORD-FRA, FRA-MLA, MLA-FRA, and FRA-ORD, it shows premium plus available on the outbound ORD-FRA leg. But when I finish selecting flights, after selecting the fourth flight FRA-ORD, it thinks for a minute and then just says “Choose another option” and doesn’t let me book it.

Why would this be?
Sounds like United doesn’t file a Premium Plus fare on ORD-MLA. The way to circumvent this is to book as multi-city as you did. You may need to call. What fare class are your segments showing up as?
