One hour and one supervisor later and they ended up converting both to ETCs where I was finally able to apply them to the flight I was trying to purchase.
Not a problem, you just need to use the additional workaround which is to use the ETC to buy a ticket to then generate another FFC which then can be combined. Yeah, I wish UA would offer ETC/FFC combinability and while we are at it, throw in TB! That said, MAJOR improvements in recent years with partner flight availability and the workarounds
