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.

So that's not EST.

And why not just book again at midnight, assuming this is still alive by then?
they didn't cancel the reservations for flights from eu to us at midnight in Europe

i'm still very confused on PQD. if all UA metal, no issue. If mix of UA/LH - how does that work since it's not 016?

Seems like they are ticketing very very slowly ... At least at the rate FTers are reporting here... When will it be my turn? :'(

Whew, thank you, you've just given me hope. I booked at 11 am PT, not ticketed, and have no pending charges.

Sorry - not sure how to update the Wiki post - reserved at 330pm Eastern, ticketed at 720pm Eastern. 4 tix NYC - DXB in February, $275 each. I'm not quite convinced enough to book hotel...

Thanks to everyone - first time I've been able to take advantage of one of these.
