Better call ua today... My wait time was less than a minute... and imagine the wait time might be tomorrow if E+ does not stick on co.com.
+1. The automated phone rep actually offered the option of "request an e+" but it's the real agent that does the job. Very nice!

I see open seats for my codeshare (CO number, UA flight) in E+, but as usual the seat selections don't stick. I'll call them tomorrow to get the seats...

I just checked my UA EWR-DEN-EWR itinerary for the end of October - UA.com still wants $49 each way to move into E+. Will check again tomorrow.

Maybe that is you, as I had booked CO flights two weeks ago, initially exit row wasn't available, but after I purchase, close the browser, re-enter my PNR #, the exit rows show all up include my UA MP #, and I am only a 1P.

There are others report in the UA board using the same method in order to get exit row seats on CO.

E+ success rate appears to be about 50-50, or perhaps a little worse than that.

The successful ones:

My reservation was booked on co.com and I could select E+ seats on co.com, but they would not stick.
That is what I told the UA rep, and she immediately put me in E+. No problem.

Since you are able to see UA seatmaps on CO, I wonder when we will be able to see CO seatmaps on .bomb

I saw the same thing when I checked my reservation on line (purchased on UA.COM with my OnePass number).

Then I called United 3P number - they could see my reservation with OnePass number but declined my E+ seating request - after chacking some dosuments, I was told that Day One is October 1st, so they can't do it until tomorrow.

I'm not putting too much expectation on UA.COM - I'll call again.
