The miles are never taken until the waitlisted seat clears and you confirm it. You also won't get a differente *available* seat in case the Suite doesn't clear by just waitlisting the Suite.
so what can I do to assure myself a seat? Or I have to go to the airport hoping it will clear?

Once you have the Suite on waitlist, book an economy or business seat with your miles and then if the waitlist clears, you cancel that ticket.

Check Y/J and if available book or wait to see if the waitlist will clear. You do not go to the airport hoping to clear the seat there. Is this a serious question?  ???

Just last week they wouldn't let me waitlist on a flight that I had a confirmed seat (didn't try online).

Incorrect. HUCA.

Should be booked as one award on *A partner chart.

Thanks. Does the fact that the SQ is a standard award make a difference?

Could be. Never had the issue, but I guess because it may be two award types that that is the reason your being told it's two awards.

Partner award Jfk-FRA-Krk = 65k
SQ Standard award JfK-FRA = 68k
Sounds to good to be true

Would have been very simple to do online.

Booked with SQ miles? Until departure.

if i book a united flight in coach via SQ, will there be any additional fees (outside of the extra taxes) on an upgrade to bus if/when the saver business opens or is it just the extra miles?

Extra miles + $20 change fee.
