UA.Com Throws Error When Purchasing Ticket

Having a strange/annoying .com error today, and am curious if anyone else is having the same issue:

Trying to purchase a simple, single-segment, one-way, domestic award on an Express flight. Get all the way through the selection and passenger info process, enter CC details, and click purchase. Only to get the following error message: "we’re sorry, but united.com was unable to complete your request. Please try later or contact united.com Support." Happens in both Chrome and Firefox.

Flight shows: "Y9, YN9, B9, M9, E9, U9, H9, HN9, Q9, V9, W9, S9, T9, L9, K9, G9, N9, XN9, X9" as inventory.

Any ideas? So glad I've ditched this airline, as far as revenue flying goes.

(note I think this is different from the issues others have been experiencing with reservations not ticketing...as this fails before a reservation is even created.)

Try purchasing it using the app. Back in May I was trying to purchase a simple IAD-SFO r/t and ua.com gave me the same response you got. Pulled out my phone and the purchase went through easily.
