Aeroplan points for a UA flight, where is UA booking reference number

I just use my aeroplan points buy a UA flight. Where can I get the UA booking reference number? I want to check the flight on UA website. Is there any other ways except calling the airline?

Have to call Aeroplan, AC, or United. If you call United, you can get it through the automated system

I tried several times calling United, every time it went to an agent. Is there a way to not talking with agent, just use the automated system?

Whenever I call them, the automated system answer. I say existing reservation, flight details, then give t my flight number, date, and surname. Otherwise if you speak to agent they can find it as well.

call AE and ask them what the UA locator is. Since AE is not the airline, I think this qualifies as another way without calling the airline

Aeroplan always gives me the other locators whenever I ask. You should have no problem there.

You can just use the app and click on additional information and it will give you all PNRs....
.... Oh wait....

Neither AE or AC have that capability, so you have to waste time on hold.....

This is one ability I massively enjoy on the rare occasion that I book non-UA flights on 016 stock. Even their old ugly site could show these.

But don't worry, the new AC site is shiny.

If you have your e-ticket number you can go to the Saudia airlines site and, under "Manage Bookings" select "e-ticket" and enter your details. This usually will give you the necessary Booking Ref number IIRC.

For me it usually shows no such booking references.

And always in beta, even if doesn`t say it in the URL. I shudder to see what their alpha versions look like (HINT: there probably are none).
