The whole entering the pnr to update the cc is a hoax.

Someone got notified that their cc was not working/authorized, so they followed the link that was sent to them and WALLA it ticketed 2 minutes later! But that's because the guys ticket was ready to be ticketed and so he had to do was update the cc.

No one got pushed up front, it was just some stupid n00b that didn't know what he's saying.
+1 I resubmitted my cc info for 2 reservations at 1:30am AND I also changed cc info on one of them. I was ticketed at 6am and they charged my original card

@Shmuelb Ever heard of coincidence? Must of the people waiting that long were ticketed around that time.

I did it for two tickets, the one I did first didn't ticket yet, while the first booking ticketed.

Again, no one got ticketed that didn't have to wait the usual amount if time, believing in some stupid hoax will not change otherwise.

Obviously it can be coincidence. It can also be that it works. Whatever. You do not have to believe in it.

They just charged my card.

And I'm ticketed.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

I want to get people's opinions on what i should do here. I got two sets of tickets for myself and the wife for the heck of it. We are traveling way too much around that time to be able to go on an additional two trips. If these tickets do get honored I dont really have much to do with them but they were insane prices (ewr-cdg $400 and ewr-mxp $127). I remember hearing about a trick to change the name on a ticket so id effectively be able to transfer it to anyone, is that accurate? If I can, Id keep the tickets and sell them if they get honored. Any thoughts?

@ShmuelB

You're the only one reporting any success out of dozens of people, and that's also after waiting 15 hours.

There are other signs that this doesn't work, like my tickets getting ticketed in a different order(not based on updating cc), original credit cards getting charged among others things.

In my mind that is indicative that there isn't one sliver of truth to it.

Not sure if anyone has a similar issue but please mention if you do. I got the email with my e-ticket # morning from wideroe, however when I view my reservation on united.com it still says this reservation has not yet been ticketed. (i wonder if it is because I had called United last night to add a middle name to the ticket)

Do it on United's site.
I did it last night before I got ticketed.

Looked quickly didn't see that option. I guess I'll check again later.
