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.

Not working for me. I get the following error message:

Thank you for choosing United Airlines


I've been trying for two hours to get the receipt, and no dice.

I'm having the same issue as you, durberville. Showing as ticketed, got the email receipt from Wideroe, but can't get a UA receipt.

The $$ are all messed up on mine too on the confirmation page.

How soon you guys plan to reserve hotels, reposition flights (i need to get to LAX from DC area to start my syd flight on dec 9).. want to do it but afraid that UA will throw hammer tomorrow or so (my lax-syd flight got ticketed around 3 AM).

I don't know why there's a problem for you. I just go to "Reservations", then click on "view all reservations" in the lower right hand corner.

It pulls them all up. Then I go to the reservation I want and it offers me the option to click on "view receipt". Maybe it's just taking a while for you? I'd wait and check it in an hour or so.

As a reminder, do not call for any reason.

Do not call. I have major problems with my ticket, and I'm not going to call.

Do not call. If your receipt doesn't show up, don't call.

Don't worry! I am not going to call. It shows the ticket as ticketed and confirmed, and I have my Wideroe E-Tkt, receipt, etc.

I am sure it will work itself out.

My plan is to wait as long as possible before booking anything that can't be cancelled for free. With a Dec 9 date, I can see waiting is not much of an option.

IAH-CPH-IAH purchased 5:07pm CT yesterday, ticketed 5:05am CT today (so 12 hrs). ^

Ticketed as non-ref but pricing all correctly.

Good luck everyone!

For a receipt, you can also try looking up your ticket on the Saudia Web site (http://www.saudiairlines.com/ -> "Manage My Bookings") using your e-ticket number. I see a receipt there for a friend's booking that ticketed this morning (and it matches the UA breakdown).
