Booking pending availability on award

Is this new? Booking pending availability on status column. No way to check for award seat without actually booking it? I am hesitant to hit the confirm button. Do EVA charges me and deduct miles right away? Like they deducte miles even the seat is wait listed?

If you complete the process (ie, pay the fees, etc), the seat should be confirmed. At least, that’s what happened for me when I booked using miles a couple days ago.

Would like to know this as well. How do you know for sure that a flight is available to book, not just waitlist?

It will let you know after you enter passenger details. So just keep going...

Could you please help do a couple searches for me? I don't have enough miles in the account and don't want to transfer TYP into it and be stuck with waitlist...
I tried calling phone agents and they claim no flights are available to confirm, except I've read in the forum that sometimes website availability can differ from what agents see...
It's for TPE-SIN or TPE-HKG, any class of cabin, from 12/28/18-1/1/19

You can always search on united.com without any mileages.

Citi TYP transfer is not instant. So there is always a risk that someone grab your seat before you if you do transfer after you found the seat.

wondering if Eva opens more space to its own member

Yep but that just I space that is available to all partners
I don't know if Eva opens more space to its members (like SQ does)?

Related question - what are the chances of success if waitlisted? I'm a Silver IM member if this matters.

Wondering the same question but with no EVA status. Would be interested to know how long the waitlist would clear. Planning a trip in July but can only see waitlist. Thank you.
