The full site (http://www.singaporeair.com) couldn't retrieve my reservation this morning, but the mobile site (http://mobile.singaporeair.com) worked like a charm and I now have a couple of seats in the front cabin of the A388 all-C upper deck.

I missed out on that 
(ironically because I was busy flying SQ that day and didn't have wifi access ...)
Also, a few weeks ago, I moved a bunch of AMEX MR into SQ KF before closing out the card. I guess I'm just going to have fly only SQ for the near future #firstworldproblems

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

What? You think they did not already know? I wanted to know if I was wasting my time or not. No big deal!!! Didn't "ruin" anything for anyone. He already had the telex in hand from HQ but hay, if it does not work out you can put ALL the blame on me

I agree.
In the future please wait to call.
Other folks would like to participate in the deal as well.

it was rumoured earlier this year that sq was going to open up award space... something we never got to see. do you think this current offering is planned and here to stay?
it's now well after the resurrection of the new system and the seats are still there on many routes...

Called UA and received my SQ confirmation numbers. It looks like this really worked.

UA will give you SQ confirmation number
Go to SQ website to change seat.
One datapoint: My SFO(HKG)SIN flight this fall... I am the only person currently booked in F on the flight.
I'd like to believe this is more of SQ truly releasing some inventory versus a mistake.
In the RGN deal, Korean Airlines stands a good chance of some pretty good publicity from all the FT'ers who will be sharing their trip reports here and with friends. Only with SQ, they will get this and big payment (albeit less than they may want) from UA for these tickets. So if this is all a mistake, SQ may want to think through any knee-jerk reaction about cancelling these. Just my .02

I called UA and asked for the Singapore Airlines confirmation number, which they gave me. But when I enter it on the www.singaporeair.com website along with my last name, I keep getting this error:
No match found for the entered SQ booking reference and last name.
So I called UA again, but they gave me the same Singapore Airlines confirmation number they gave me the first time, and it still doesn't work.
Should I just give it some time?
