Confirm your Tickets
MH and Cheaptickets are canceling these reservations. DO NOT ACCEPT a refund and they will rebook you.
As reported by JCM9608 it appears that some of these tickets or segments may be getting canceled. If your itinerary pops up on the flymas.mobi site then you're probably okay. If not, call cheapticekts and speak with them. They must honor the ticket, so don't take "No" or "We'll send you a refund" as an answer. You may need to speak to a manager / supervisor.
Multiple reports in this thread indicate that cheaptickets/MH will book you on a flight combination (possibly with a connection in NRT) if you push and don't accept a refund.
Booking
It has been reported that this books at Cheaptickets and Orbitz. Having problems viewing your ticket? Visit the FlyMAS Mobile Site and enter your information.
Routing
This fare appears to be eligable for End-on-End construction, so it should be possible to book cheap(ish) AA or US fares and tack them onto the ticket. In order to get to and from SFO.
Mileage Accrual
This fare is a Malaysian (MH) codeshare on Cathay (CX) metal.
Cathay: No mileage accrual
Malaysian: 70% mileage accrual
American: 50% mileage accrual
US Airways: 50% mileage accrual
And remember, DON'T CALL THE AIRLINES while a deal is ongoing.

Was thinking @ this. Unfortunately it probably wouldn't as MH isn't a partner of AS' and MH is the ticketing carrier.
If you could get a ticket with the CX flight # and your MP#, you could submit this for credit. But doubtful it would post.

Separately, has anyone gotten this (seemingly mistake) fare (no YQ/YR) to work for other Asia destinations?

I've only been able to price out ANC-LAX-HKG-SFO//ANC with a different fare SFO-SEA-ANC on AS for over $800.
