  • Continental OnePass: Pass or Play?

    Jul 21 '04
    Pros: A god number of ways to earn miles; Easy sign up procedure
    Cons: Redemption offers not so good; More difficult to earn elite statuses

    Summary: Continental Airlines is a newly re-discovered airline for me. Having shunned Continental for more than eight years following a negative experience, I have now given in and rejoined the Continental fold. I took a flight last month on Continental for the ...

  • Onepass Stinks

    Sep 04 '08
    Pros:

    It's sometimes easier to get business class tickets than supersaver coach.


    Cons: See above

    Summary: I think whomever is saying positive things about Onepass has been hired by Continental to say so. By far this is the worst, I mean WORST frequent flyer program. I have 75,000 miles in my account that I have been unsuccessful in using over the past 2 ...

  • The best of the worst

    Aug 05 '07
    Pros: Newer fleet, better service, free upgrades
    Cons: Fewer and Fewer free tickets

    Summary: I have been a frequent flier for 10 some years now, flying between 40,000 and 80,000 miles per year. I used to love OnePass. Now all I can say is that I like it. I have to qualify that with I think all airline FF programs have gone down hill in the ...

  • Flying around on Continental

    Mar 18 '06
    Pros: Does not expire, multiple ways to redeem miles, partner participation, goes all over the world
    Cons: May take a lot of miles to get where you want to go

    Summary: Continental's OnePass program is one of the only programs that doesn't feel like a refrigerator is being forced up your rectum. The miles you earn are yours...forever! They don't expire and you can earn them by flying on Northwest Airlines, Delta, or a ...

  • No longer loyal to One Pass after 2004 changes

    Dec 20 '05
    Pros: Still redeeming miles a year after I have stopped flying Continental.
    Cons: Fewer Upgrades and more difficult to get elite status.

    Summary: I have been flying about 100,000 miles a year for 5 years now. I used to be very loyal to Continental and their partners until they changed their Frequent Flyer program in 2004. This was the best program and now they are just like the rest, maybe ...

  • One Pass/Many Calls

    Nov 17 '04
    Pros: Lots of points quickly. No expiration.
    Cons: Easily misplaced partner airline points... confusing retrieval process.

    Summary: First, let me say that I LOVE Continental Airlines. About ten years ago, you wouldn't have heard me say that. However, they've made a lot of changes to their "flight" customer service that have made me an avid fan. Ahhh... then there's One Pass. ...

  • OnePass goes bust

    Apr 22 '04
    Pros: Various ways to accumulate miles.
    Cons: But it's not about miles anymore, it's how much more u pay

    Summary: I recently flew internationally & found out that I am now earning only half of the miles I usually earned & it will take twice as more effort to acheive Elite Status. Now it's based on how much you paid for your ticket not mileage. I guess they want ...

  • 2004 changes make this a difficult proposition.

    Jan 09 '04
    Pros: About as good as any other major airline frequent flier program.
    Cons: No longer better than others, increasingly hard to earn elite status, I'm on the verge.

    Summary: I've been a member of this program for 12 years! It's always been one of the best, but recent changes are sending me elsewhere. I've been an elite (silver and gold) for over 8 years and I've driven business to Continental and partners because of the ...

  • Continental OnePass - Frequent Flyer Miles + Lots Of Perks!

    Aug 02 '03
    Pros: It's pretty easy to earn miles...
    Cons: It's pretty difficult to get elite status...

    Summary: Preamble I used to be one of those people who flew infrequently. I used to be one of thos ...

  • Best Program around town

    Dec 25 '02
    Pros: Upgrades, priority boarding/baggage handling, and Free travel
    Cons: Seat availabilities during the Peak season

    Summary: I've been a Onepass member since '00. In that time, I've accumulated over 250,000 miles. (I do use the Chase Manahattan Continental Visa card A LOT - in 2 years, I've racked up 90,000 miles - which gives 1mi/$) This was my first year as a Platinum...

  • Elite is not so elite

    Aug 18 '02
    Pros: Somewhat easy to redeem miles, partnership with Virgin Atlantic
    Cons: Elite members dont really matter

    Summary: I began flying CO in 1994 when I had just moved from Las Vegas to Chicago Why do you ask did I choose CO? Well they had this little prestige pack whih gave you some upgrades and 7,000 miles for the small fee of $95. Also, I was a freshman in college...

  • OnePass - What a Nightmare

    Apr 26 '02
    Pros: Many easy non-flight ways to earn miles, easy upgrades to first.
    Cons: Trying to use the miles for free flights, especially Hawaii

    Summary: I have been a longtime member of OnePass as well as Delta Skymiles. Skymiles is winning my unanimous applause for service, a credit card that doubles miles on everyday purchases, and fair redemption of miles for free seats.

    I own property in...

  • Continental is the best - so it's only logical OnePass follows

    Apr 25 '02
    Pros: great Elite benefits, easy to get free tickets
    Cons: varying partners

    Summary: Continental's OnePass program is by far the best frequent flyer program in the industry. Enrollment and mileage accrual is simple, and rewards and elite status are easy to obtain. Last year, for instance, I obtained Silver Elite status solely from...

  • Sorry, but I've have absolutely no luck with Onepass

    Mar 26 '02
    Pros: Good statements.
    Cons: Practically impossible to redeem for tickets, poor customer service

    Summary: I earned 60,000 miles and my wife has earned 50,000 miles on Onepass but I have tried to redeem them for offpeak tickets several times but have never been able too. I am told that I'm either too early or too late. I have tried to book flights from...
