I would be surprised if UA sold an LH K as anything other than a K.

They can't because they don't know. That's the nature of codeshares, and one reason to avoid them. When purchasing a codeshare flight, you have to call to find out the underlying fare class if it matters to you.
They didn't lie - you just failed to do your homework. Chalk it up to experience.

When they indicate one fare class on the reservation and it changes, it's less than honest. Call it what you want. I call it a lie. "I failed to do my homework. Chalk it up to Experience?" So what you're saying is buyer beware, we can't count on this crap airline for honesty. 1K, Million Miler, doesn't matter, they will ---- you wherever they can. Got it . . thanks.
I'm not a huge believer in "lying by omission", but I can see where you feel shafted. It's unfortunate, just learn and move on IMO even googling "LH K fare" returns significant articles regarding this.. I suggest doing this when booking any *A cheap fare.
Good luck.

Am i understanding correctly that flying those same itineraries this year wouldn't even get me to silver status?

Given the change in partner earning starting 1 March 2015, this older thread is out-of-date.
