Big thank you to the OP! I have booked a few US-KUL flights! 
Has anyone successfully changed their reservations through their phone? I have a reservation this coming weekend and would like to switch from TG to SQ F. Every time the agent tried to change it for me, it will confirm but once they call the rate desk, it will come back as unconfirmed. According to the agent, it goes from HK to UC when she's on hold with the rate desk.

It looks like SQ figured out the glitch and they started to fix things up. I just tried to make another booking on SQ and seats are gone for many dates.

I called in again and agent said the record needed to be cleaned up a bit. Apparently the agent put it though to buy it but did not include the rate information... He fixed that said it should complete soon, if not by this afternoon call in again. Once I was off the phone it showed as ticketed!!!

What's crazy (at least to me) is the number of F seats available ON EACH FLIGHT! I booked 2x F on each of my six SQ flights (as part of an eight-flight itinerary), but am still seeing an additional 1, 2 or 3 F seats available on each flight!
Crazy to think that someone could book 4x F on an SQ77W! I'm just hoping that I get swapped out on my SIN-SYD or MEL-SIN flights from the 77W to the 388!

Wow am I glad I woke up early this morning! Between me, my wife, and my mother, we just redeemed more than half a million miles.
(and our ticket numbers were issued by UA within minutes)
Thank you OP ^^^^^^^^^^

AUSSIE DO??
Come one! There have been hundreds (I'm sure) of reward tickets booked all over the world with this (very) early SQ x-mas gift. Any of you book to Australia?
Can we get a mini-do?

Unnamed SQ Station Mgr "We will accept these tkts, at least for today"
I just spoke to a SQ Station Manager who I have met close to a dozen times and who's card I found in my wallet (i looked hard for it). I called to ask if he knew about these award tickets and would they be honored by SQ if I had a booking. He told me he was already contacted by SQ HQ and told to honor the tickets "at least for today" and until HQ comes out with an actual directive. He did say that it was "suggested" to him that he advise passengers to reconfirm any onward or return flights as they may be rescheduled by The issuing airline on different carriers. He does not believe they will honor all the tkts (but said that was his "strong" belief, not any policy he was told about but he said to read between the lines. If he was told to have ground staff advise passengers to reconfirm onward / return flights, that means they probably plan to throw this back at UA/US (and Virgin was also apparently allowed to book these seats as well)
I can't say what station manager for obvious reasons but can say he's in Western Europe (Not the US) and SQ has more then 1 flight a day from his airport
Take it for what it's worth

keeping my fingers crossed. Just booked about 15 minutes ago for YUL-DPS managed to get MUC-SIN in F. Could have probably gotten a better routing if i called.. but obviously did not want to do that!!!

Hey so I've not redeemed any *A partner awards since the CO merger, but I've read reports that even if you get a 016 ticket number, the ticket number may not be linked to the partner airline's record (if one exists).
So can some kind FTers please offer some practical advice for those of us who have 016 ticket numbers on SQ flights? Should we call SQ to get PNRs and combine them with the 016 ticket numbers? Should we call UA and panic?
