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.

Six others in the pipeline. All show on Amadeus.

How can we check Amadeus to see if our itineraries are there?

Booked a mid-February EWR-TLV r/t for ~US$425 for a family friend around 18:30 NYC time, then went back and booked 3 more for family on same flights around 19:00.

Seats and FFNs added via the .bomb are also showing on CMT. First-timer on one of these, so keeping the fingers crossed.

"I did a couple of dummy bookings all with different security codes and expiry dates for the same credit card number, and they all went through."

so the website cannot verify the CC details? means if you are not pending, you may have missed a letter or something in your address, etc?

I hope there would be the same fares on other sellers too.
Any sightings?

wideroe sent me confirmation emails for all bookings, but nothing has shown up on UA (so far).

I see everybody saying to look at checkmytrip.com, but what is the benefit of that vs just seeing it on United.com? Just wondering because mine show on United.come as not ticketed and they show on checkmytrip as confirmed, but not ticketed. Seems to be the same thing...

Hope it is still there for those looking.
It's not down, you just can't go directly to Wideroe.no. Need to use a deeper link.
