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.

No, it does not automatically get cancelled upon reaching the deadline given on united.com, even if it has not ticketed before that deadline

Me too!

I'm waiting on one to ticket that I bought at 4:07pm EST and one from 7:13pm EST. Both are confirmed, but neither have been ticketed or charged to credit card.

the site is back online, they changed the website design, it now look different and it seems you can still book... shows "old" cheap prices...

did they take the website down just for an update and not due to the 1000x booking...

Hmm suddenly lots of traffic let's redesign the site to make it more user friendly

So you're saying the -YQ fares are still there?

Good luck everyone, hope everyone can fly. I did not pull my trigger on this fare, not like those RGN fares that I did. I was thinking to get UA miles and status, but decided not to.

It's going a lot faster now - and the low fares are still there. Not sure if you can book, but I'm at the passenger info screen with a crazy low fare . . .

I'm going to try to jam one thru in W. Should be about $800 for many TATL fares. Need to use these Gpus for something.
