dan-
1. big fan
2. I’m pretty new to this credit card stuff, and I didn’t see anyhwere on continental.com an answer to my question.
3. I just recently applied for a continental world MC (standard 20,000 miles after first purchase+ 5,000 for adding an authorized user), and my application is still being reviewed. Now, if I’m approved, and I also open up a chase account with this offer, will I be able to get both mileage bonuses for a whopping 50,000? thanks dan.

@c:
Call up your local branch and find out.
@yitz:

@benji:
Sure!

Do you have a link for the Continental Credit Card offer?
August 6th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Is there any way to get around the $29 annual fee?
August 6th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Seems like for the bussiness account you only have choice of 65 dollar card!!
August 6th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
@eli k.: I can confirm that from my recent sign up.
August 6th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Is this the best rewards debit card? If not what is ? Or best rewards card for people with no or bad credit?
August 6th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
sometimes they will wave the first years fee if you ask for it. I was offered this when I signed up last year for my first chase checking acct.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Dan, at the Chase this afternoon the acct manager pointed to where it said that I must get the “premier” card with a $69 annual fee. It says so on the coupon. There didn’t seem to be a way around it.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
The coupon for the consumer account clearly says that the $25 debit card qualifies.
August 7th, 2009 at 4:15 am
I know this is not directly related but maybe you, Dan or one of your website visiters knows of a way to help me, i’m looking to fly from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Toronto Canada Aug 13-23 the problem is tickets are nothing less than 1000 dollars. Really i wouldnt mind using my skymiles for this flight but i only have 50,000 and the flight costs 60,000. so does someone know of a good deal for either buying miles or some way to get the ticket for 50,000 or just a good deal in dollars. or some other good idea up your/their sleeve. Thanks alot.

@Dan
Look where it plainly and clearly says, “if you open a Chase Continental Airlines Preferred Debit Card (annual fee applies)4″
That’s for the extra 15k miles. Thus, you need a Preferred card which costs $69/yr.

@MacDan:
Did you bother reading footnote 4?
“4 The Chase Continental Airlines Preferred Debit Card has an annual fee of $65 per checking account. If you choose the lower fee option of $25 with the Chase Continental Airlines Debit Card, you earn 1 mile for every $2 in qualifying purchases. Customers choosing the lower fee option will still receive the second 15,000 bonus miles after the first qualifying purchase.”

it says
We’re unable to proceed with your request. The coupon code you have entered is either invalid or expired, or it has already been redeemed.
Is there anything we can do?
September 17th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Is there any way to set up a direct deposit. For the chase checking its either that, $6 a month, or five debit card purchases.

what are the age requirements
November 1st, 2009 at 2:07 am
@a:
I’d assume 18.
November 1st, 2009 at 2:12 am
what are the age requirements? it also doesn’t state wether you get the 10k miles with the cheaper option.
November 3rd, 2009 at 1:27 pm
do you have set up direct deposit
November 3rd, 2009 at 1:45 pm
@eli:
No, you can also do 5 debit card purchases.

The date on the offer changed to a 3/31/10 expiration. The T&Cs say you can do one award for every calendar year, so if you opened an account this year, open more after Jan 1 to get 25kx2 (business and personal account)OnePass miles!!
