After several minutes of this back and forth, I was starting to get frustrated and about to give up (it's not that many miles). Finally he asked a supervisor (I think for the 2nd time) and the supervisor asked me to tell him what I need. I re-stated the original request and the came on. It turned out even though I was saying I wanted to add my UA frequent flyer number, the check-in agent was somehow interpreting it that I wanted my bag to be through checked to a UA flight. So anyway, they got my UA number added and I received the credit by the next day.
