We didn't have any success of someone's itinerary being ticketed so most likely there is no way that this price would be honored.

Agreed, this is probably a cash grab even if it does go through like TAP does lol

For the TAP deal, at least the fare was ticketed instantly after purchase which was a real error fare.
This one looks like an OTA error so a click-bait.

Doesn't work, as you submit the payment the price increases to $4k+

I think it's time for the moderator to change the title as "OTA Error - Does Not Ticket" unless anyone else could prove that they have their e-ticket in their hands.

Out of curiosity what time did you complete your purchase and did you get a PNR?
I am trying since 13:15 GMT and had no success.

I just went through the whole process and purchased and just now noticed they are credited in economy class... I did not notice until after the purchase had been made

Now come the struggle of trying to see if I can cancel these. Any recommendations?

Wait, they did actually honor the fare but booked you in Economy? So, I am glad that my attempts were not ticketed.
Call the OTA and ask for a full refund. The QR EOC policy allows full refunds to be made on all tickets without exception.

Did you booked your ticket through the OTA FlightNetwork?

Yeap. For some reason it just gave me other options when I scrolled down so I assume they were all business

I should have been worried when it did not reprice

As you have booked through an US carrier, your ticket should have a free 24 hour cancellation period.
You should call the OTA and ask for a refund as soon as possible.
