But sorry about your loss, i'm sure another deal will come along. So far this week there has been the QR SGN deal and now this, so i'm sure another will come along.

The fare is gone on EF.
I was struggling to find the necessary Z space before, which is why I assumed it was dead, but I managed to get one booked. Then I tried to book my roommate (my flights all still had Z space), but the fare was pulled

It was working pretty much on all the sites 2 hours ago - i have a booking on Orbitz confirmed. I was even seeing it in amextravel website. Then it died down slowly and United could price it. Then only ANA site, but that lasted for a good 1.5 hr.
But sorry about your loss, i'm sure another deal will come along. So far this week there has been the QR SGN deal and now this, so i'm sure another will come along.

I've been waiting for a good deal like this on star alliance ALL YEAR and this was it and it's all for nothing. A fare like this on star alliance / UA JV shows up maybe once every few years. This is a massive massive miss on my part. And its not like I missed it because I slept through it… I was here frantically using ITA/ana.co.jp/OTAs/UA.com with everyone else… just no idea how it never priced for me. This totally sucks.

Does anyone get notifications someplace other than the Flight Deal...
...of course i found this at 4:30 because that's when I got my flight deal notification via email.
Any other sources to get these earlier?

And to sweeten this deal, if anyone's booked on the ANA flights from NRT-SFO/LAX, these Z fares can be upgraded to First using 25k miles!!!! 
I was able to put my request through on UA.com and it confirmed instantly

Check the website instead of waiting for your email notification. I get mine around 12 PM PST, but I always check way earlier than that.

It seems I was one of the lucky ones ... ticketed instantly on ANA (a couple hours back) YVR-SEA(overnight)-NRT//HND-SYD Dec 5 SYD-SFO-YVR Dec 19 for $844 CAD
Not the most perfect, would have preferred the overnight in Tokyo, but I had tried a couple times on other dates and it failed on final purchase screen, so long as it's honoured I really don't care!!

booked 1 through priceline, but turns out the outbound is econ, so cancelled
then priced via multi city on ANA and booked 2, couple days stopover in Tokyo and then onto Sydney. Return no stopover though.
I found the ANA website to be consistently accurate and easy to book

"I tweeted this deal first from @milevalueAlerts. Follow @milevalueAlerts on Twitter and follow these directions to get a text message every time I tweet from that account. I tweet from @milevalueAlerts only a few times a month (normally) because it is designed to be used only for the best and most limited-time deals–like mistake fares–so that you aren’t bombarded by text messages."

Follow @milevalueAlerts on Twitter - here's his blurb (which posted around noon EDT for me)

I got a few of the DPS LAX QR fares (similar to the SGN) but QR makes mistakes all the time… and they're kinda garbage so I don't really care to fly them.
I've been waiting for a good deal like this on star alliance ALL YEAR and this was it and it's all for nothing. A fare like this on star alliance / UA JV shows up maybe once every few years.
