If you are an UA elite, E+ can be chosen anytime on any ticket stock. Provide your UA MP FF # while booking with the other airline and get the corresponding UA confirmation number. Add it to your UA account and select your E+ seat. That's always worked for me.

I have booked UA flights on other ticket stock and upgrade processing with GPUs does not work as well. I don't know if it's changed, but I couldn't apply my GPU until check in. If the flight is not on UA, then I cannot see any advantage at all.

SDC is the other main thing which officially only works on 016 tickets; that was a change a couple years ago; prior to that it worked pretty well on anything.
