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.

Brilliant! thanks st1575. I printed off the receipt from Saudiairlines so I have proof of payment and ticketing.

Did you get a cancelled reservation email? I got it and I used a previous link they sent me with my PNR and submit credit card info again. Will see what happen.

I've given up hope that my ticket from 2:30ish PM yesterday is ever going to ticket. I was thinking the update CC info thing may have been what screwed me up or the fact i'm using DC and not a CC.

BTW ILL SAY IT AGAIN DO NOT CALL. IT WILL NOT HELP. NO IF AND OR BUT.

Deal may be dead but tickets are not cancelled

Didn't say they didn't find that fare - just saying that I'm not wrong about not finding it. Only pointing out that it was a very childish way to address someone. I already got my $370 SFO-DXB MLK weekend deal last night, so I'm good.

Nope. Nothing works. However I try, I get the error message.

Printed out my receipt/fare breakdown from saudiairlines, so not too worried.

We will all wait it out for a few days to see how this all shakes down, and to see whether UA/Wideroe start cancelling.....

In late November 2013, Wideroe declared bankrupcy because it owed United Airlines NOK 3,000,000 in unpaid fuel surcharges after issuing over 20,000 tickets for flights on United Airlines

I thought about cancelling one of my trips that was ticketed. When I get to the cancellation confirmation page it says my ticket is 'Fleksibel' with rules being:

This is a flexible ticket. Changes or cancellation is allowed
Cancellation within a 24 hour cancellation deadline will be refounded 100%
Cancellation after a 24 hour cancellation deadline will be refounded 100% except for the service fee. Also no refound for Cancellation protection and Carbon offsets.
Unused tickets will be refunded 100% except the servicefee.

http://www.wideroe.no/utils/help/help.aspx?id=4361

Does this mean I will only be charged the 30NOK booking fee if I cancel after 24 hours? (I'm hopeful, but not expecting much)
