As indicated in the thread title, this deal is now dead.

How do I manage my itinerary/check my booking/select seats?

Note that the displayed receipt will be incorrect ($5 higher than actual) owing to a programming error. The taxes/fees shown includes the original $5 WF booking fee. Do not worry about this; it does not change the amount you are actually billed.
How many miles will I earn on United from my flight?
Here's the UA master page listing airline partners. If you click on a partner logo, you'll see a page containing a chart showing the yield for flights taken on partner metal. (It even says explicitly that it's the metal that counts: "The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.")

MileagePlus (UA) earning charts for
Will I do better if I credit to another *A carrier instead?
Maybe.

Miles&More (LH, LX,...) earning charts for
  • United Airlines (UA) (K, L, T fares earn 50%, 25% for flights in 2014)
  • Lufthansa (LH) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)
  • Swiss (LX) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)
  • Air Canada (AC) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)

Here's the master list of partner earning charts for Aegean (A3) and here's the list for Turkish Airlines (TK).
Are there other FlyerTalk members flying when I am?
Quite possibly! There is a meetup thread on the CommunityBuzz forum. Post if you would like to participate.

Hmm...good to know it's just probably a processing time issue with it not recognizing my email, but not good to know that there is still no cancel link haha. I guess we still have xx amount of hours to cancel, but not sure what to consider if we're at 23h and no cancel link has appeared...

Unfortunately, the AC site says to call for any changes or cancellations...so, not doing that! Hopefully, if it tickets, it'll give the cancel option at that point like someone said.

On a side note, I'm noticing some weird airlines popping up in the search now, HA, US and Brussels, same city pairs the last few nights and didn't see any of those, all of them are at regular price.

Looks like I missed out on this one. Tried various routes and dates anyway, but no success.

When I go through the My Trips link it emailed, it says:
"No receipts are issued by now for this booking.
Please use CheckMyTrip below for booking details."

But ditto, really need to cancel this, not sure what my plan of attack will be at ~22hrs.

Poop. After doing some research, crediting an AC K fare on US only results in 50% mileage accrual. So much for MRing on AC to get EQM on US which would then theoretically transfer to AA.

Can still credit to UA for 100% mileage.

No, these flights have stopover in YUL or YYZ and one stop in Europe.
No need to flame me. Just a simple question

Give chase a call because they may have blocked the transaction. I had the same thing. Nothing on my card. Then email and text telling me my card didnt work.

I've finally got my DUB-EWR ticketed. Had an email earlier about card refused and a call from Amex fraud prevention. Got sorted within the 2 hour window and receipt was sent about 3 hours after that.

Tried yesterday 12am after getting home and it seemed to be long gone. Seems like I have missed one of the deals of the year. Reading the thread brings me joy and sadness at the same time. Gonna be combing through to see what some of the prices and destinatinos members were getting from SEA.
