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.

Still not ticketed...

...booked 1.5 hrs ago.

On the plus side, still seeing deals out of EWR. Booked one for a friend.

BTW, anyone else have their confirmation number change when they log into UA? Both of mine (mine plus friends) had this issue. The website says:

As part of our merger, Continental and United have combined reservation systems. All customers have been issued a new confirmation number from our merged system. Please use your new confirmation number when managing your reservation and checking in for your flight. For your reference, we have listed your previous confirmation number(s) below.
Previous Continental confirmation: xxxxxx
I wonder if this part of the deal/problem?

Is it possible this is a currency conversion error on their website? When I look at the Norwegian version in Norwegian krona the fares are much more like what one would expect.

Who reads Norwegian?

Same here. I'm just waiting for it to ticket. Sadly I really can't book more than one of these. Damn that thing called work.
