Airfare Deals: Cheap Flights To/From Honolulu!

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Earlier today USeless Airways published cheap fares to/from Hawaii and all 3 of Continental’s hubs throughout the end of their schedule.

I didn’t post it because it was a fake, they had published a great fare but they allocated exactly zero seats to the sale!

Nevertheless Continental felt the need to protect its fortress hubs and just matched all 3 of the fares. And they actually had the class to allocate seats to the sale fares!

Houston-Honolulu-$340+ RT On Continental

Flying Through Newark Or Houston/IAH By 11/14? Earn Onepass Miles With Receipts!

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

You can earn 3 Continental Onepass miles for each dollar spent at any stores in Newark Terminal C or in Houston Terminal E. Just drop off your receipts of purchases made in those terminals at designated Continental promotion tables in those same terminals along with your mileage number to earn the miles. You can earn up to a maximum of 5,000 miles/account.

5,000 Onepass miles can be transferred into 5,000 miles on 8 other airlines, 25,000 Choice points, or 10 Southwest credits.

I’m sure you can rack up the miles quickly by hanging around the food court during your layover… (Any long-timers will probably be reminded of this classic deal and the dumpster diving that went along with it. Yes, I got over 150 free tickets with that deal. No, I didn’t resort to dumpster diving to get them, although I had people emailing me with proof that they did!)

HOT!!! Continental Airlines World Business And Consumer Mastercards: Open Up Either One And Transfer The 20,000 Signup Miles To Get $2,000 In Hotel Stays Or 3 Round-Trip Tickets On ATA Or Southwest!!!

Plus New Benefits For The Continental Business Card!

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Update: There’s been some interesting discussion in the comments about whether you will be able cancel the card once you get the miles and have them prorate the annual fee, or if you will be able to switch this card into a no annual fee card and get the miles for free. The bottom line is that YMMV (Your mileage may vary) you might get a great rep who will help you out and you can wind up with this whole deal for free, or you might not.

Is the deal hot? Yes, and it’s simple why. Even if you can’t get Chase to prorate or waive the $85 it is worth it because of the value of a mile.

In essence you are buying 20,000 miles for $85, a cost of about 4/10ths of a penny per mile.

As far as the uses go:

-Coach ticket to Israel on Continental is about $1,000 for 70,000 miles= 1.42 cents per mile value

-BusinessFirst ticket to Israel is about $5,000 for 100,000 miles= 5 cents per mile value.

-3 systemwide RT Tickets on Southwest/ATA is about $1,000 for 20,000 miles=5 cents per mile value.

-12 systemwide RT tickets on Southwest with a companion pass is worth at least $5,000 for 50,000 miles=10 cents per mile value.

-5 nights of $400 hotel rooms is worth $2,000 at a cost of 20,000 miles=10 cents per mile.

As you can see, buying miles for under half a cent each is a hot deal, and can be extremely hot if you make good use of the miles, or if you get the fee prorated or waived and pay nothing!

Transfer Amex/Amtrak/Continental/Starwood Into Choice Points And Southwest Credits Post!

Chase Amtrak Mastercard Post



Continental Business World Mastercard Linky

Continental Consumer World Mastercard Linky

Chase bank offers 2 Continental Mastercards, a consumer and a business version.

They both now offer 20,000 Continental mile upon signup.

They can be applied for at the same time without any problem.

Best of all-both cards are churnable, so even if you’ve gotten a bonus from Continental in the past you can earn it again!

Unfortunately both cards have $85 annual fees, which are not waved for the 1st year. But the value you can now get out of Continental miles far outweighs the fee for a year.

What you can do with just 20,000 Continental miles:

Boring:

-Use all of it for a short-haul domestic flight on Continental.

More interesting uses:

-Transfer it into 100,000 Choice Privileges points, enough for 5 stays at normally $400/night Manhattan hotels.

-Save up for a 70,000 coach(3.5 card churns) /100,000 businessfirst ticket (5 card churns) to Israel.

-Transfer it into 40 Southwest credits. Assuming you took my advice and signed up for the 8 free credits, you now have a couple options:

-3 Sytemwide Round-Trips on Southwest Or 3 Systemwide Round-Trips besides Hawaii on ATA.

-1.5 Round-trips to Hawaii on ATA (32 credits/Hawaii ticket)


Chase has just upgraded the Continental Airlines Business Card to “World For Business” status.

World Mastercards are the only US issued credit cards that offer free CDW insurance when renting a car in Israel.

Both Continental cards have “World” status.

Additionally both cards will let you save 5% on all Continental.com tickets by using the code: ONEPASS
Other benefits for the business card include:
-Earn 5,000 more bonus miles once you spend $25,000 on the card.

-Earn 2 miles per dollar spent on Continental tickets.

-Earn 2 miles per dollar spent at restaurants, gas stations, and at office supplies stores!

-Earn 1 mile per dollar spent elsewhere.

“What Can I Do With Less Than xxx Continental Miles?”

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Continuing on the fallout from yesterday’s mileage transfer post…

Dave said,

“I have 9,000 miles on Continental. Is there anything good I can do with them?”

Leibel said,

“Can i only transfer a minimum of 20k or can i transfer 12k or so (from my starwood account). And can i do a few thousand at a time? Thanks!”

DanFan said,

“Dan,

I’ve been checking this site for a LONG time. This is a great deal. I have one question: Do you know if less than 25k continental miles can be transferred to amtrack points and then to choice points? I don’t want the SW deal since it doesn’t work for me, but I do want to use the continental miles (which I’ll never use otherwise) for a hotel stay near me…”




Although the Southwest deal is incredible-I can understand that it doesn’t benefit NY’ers unless they don’t mind flying from their nearest airport served at Islip, Long Island.

That being said the other options such as the choice hotel nights or luxury hotel stays remain an excellent value, as well as transferring miles to other programs.

There are minimum transfer and incremental requirements with Continental, for example you cannot transfer less than 5,000 Continental Onepass into Amtrak points, and all transfers must be in increments of 5,000!

Well, officially you can’t anyway.

Dave and DanFan, with 9,000 miles on Continental what you can do is 5,000 Continental=5,000 Amtrak=25,000 Choice. Then you can transfer 5,000 choice for 1,000 Continental to get you over the 5,000 increment hump.

At this point you have 20,000 Choice and 5,000 Continental, which is good for another 5,000 Amtrak=25,000 Choice. So your 9,000 Continental miles became 45,000 Choice rewards, or more than enough for 2 nights in a $400/night Manhattan hotel!

Leibel, the only problem of transferring less than 20,000 Starwood points is that you will lose out on the 5,000 point bonus.

SMOKING HOT! UNPRECEDENTED MILEAGE TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY! YOUR AMEX MR POINTS, AMTRAK GUEST REWARDS POINTS, CONTINENTAL ONEPASS MILES, AND STARWOOD STARPOINTS JUST GOT A LOT MORE VALUABLE!!!!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Update 3: People have been asking me which part of the deal is the most tenuous. In my opinion if this deal were to fall apart it would be the ending/weakening of the Amtrak-Choice transfer at a 1:5 basis. Once you bring your AMEX/Amtrak/Continental/Starwood points into Choice you will be in a much better position…


Update 2: There is some confusion about the length of life for the free Southwest tickets. Southwest credits are valid for 2 years. Once you get 16 credits it turns into a free systemwide RT ticket, which is valid for 1 year from the date of issue. Once it expires you have 2 more years to reinstate it online for an additional year at a cost of $50. You have up to 5 years to reinstate it over the phone, but you will need to save the award ticket number, as that gets deleted from your account 2 years after the award expires.


Update: Moshe is reporting in the comments that it seems he is getting 25,000 Amtrak points for just 20,000 Starpoints. Please post your own findings in the comments!!!


Sneak peak-Among many other possibilities: Just 40,000 Starpoints or 50,000 Continental miles/AMEX points can get you 12 free Round trip tickets on Southwest and a yearlong Southwest companion pass!


This deal is truly incredible, yet there are so many ways of exploiting it that it may get very complicated…

The deal is good if you have any of the following currencies:

-AMEX MR points. (Good job to all those who got in on the 25,000 AMEX MR Business Gold Card deal!)

-Amtrak Guest Rewards points.

-Continental Onepass miles.

-Starwood Starpoints.


Step 1: (Optional, only necessary if you have AMEX MR points)

AMEX MR Points can be transferred into Continental Onepass miles on a 1:1 basis via the AMEX website. (25,000 AMEX points=25,000 Continental miles)


Step 2:

Continental Onepass miles can be transferred into Amtrak Guest Rewards points on a 1:1 basis by calling the Onepass service center at 713-952-1630. (25,000 Continental miles=25,000 Amtrak points)

Starwood Starpoints can be transferred into Amtrak Guest Rewards points on a 1:1 basis by calling Starwood at 888-625-4988. There is some inconsistency with the 5,000 point bonus. Some people are getting 25,000 Amtrak Guest Rewards points for 20,000 Starpoints, while others are only getting 20,000 (Officially the 5,000 points bonus is only for when you transfer Starpoints to Airline partners, not Amtrak. In practice, Starwood seems to be giving many people the 5,000 point bonus when you transfer 20,000 Starpoints over to Amtrak.)


Step 3:

Amtrak Guest Rewards points can be transferred into Choice Privileges points (A hotel loyalty program) on a 1:5 basis via the Amtrak website. (25,000 Amtrak points=125,000 Choice points)

You can transfer out a maximum of 25,000 Amtrak points per calender year. (Amtrak elites can transfer out up to 50,000 per calender year)


Step 4:

-Choice Privileges points can be transferred into Southwest Rapid Rewards credits on a 5,000:2 basis via the Choice website. (5,000 Choice points=2 Southwest credits. 125,000 Choice points=50 Southwest credits. 250,000 Choice points=100 Southwest credits.)

-Choice Privileges points can be transferred into Air Canada Aeroplan miles, Alaska Airline Mileage Plan miles , American Airlines AAdvantage Miles, Continental Onepass Miles, Delta Skymiles, Mexicana Frecuenta miles, Northwest Worldperks miles, United Mileage Plus miles, or USAirways Dividend miles on a 5,000:1,000 basis via the Choice website. (5,000 Choice points=1,000 miles)

-Choice Privileges points can be used for Choice hotel stays via the Choice website. You can nab a $400 hotel room in Manhattan for just 20,000 points/night.

-Choice Privileges points can be used for over 240 luxury hotels worldwide starting at just 24,000 points/night!


OK, so before going on, let’s recap a bit:

-You can now transfer Continental miles/AMEX points to 8 other airlines without losing a single mile in the process. (25,000 AMEX points=25,000 Continental miles=25,000 Amtrak points=125,000 Choice points=25,000 miles on 8 other airlines!)

-You can transfer 20,000(if you’re lucky) or 25,000(if you’re not so lucky) Starpoints into 25,000 Continental or United miles without the huge devaluation of transferring directly at a 1:2 basis.

-You can turn 25,000 Continental miles/AMEX points or 20,000-25,000 Starpoints into 6+ nights in expensive hotels.


Now for the fun part:


Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards:

-16 credits is enough for a free systemwide Round Trip ticket.

(Every 16 credits you earn gets you a free Southwest drink coupon if you’re 21+)

-32 credits is enough for a free Round Trip ticket to Hawaii on ATA.

-100 credits earned from any source within a 12 month period earns you a free companion pass!

The companion pass:

-Does not cost any credits, it is a free perk.

-Is valid for 12 months after it was earned.

-Allows you to bring along another person for free whenever you fly Southwest, even if you are flying on a free mileage ticket!

-Is valid for a seat anywhere that Southwest flies.

-Must be made out in a specific person’s name. That name can be changed up to 3 times after you set the original name.

-Is not subject to any blackout dates or capacity controls-you can confirm a 2nd seat for free whenever you fly.

-Does not require you to pay for regular flying taxes, you only responsible to pay $2.50 per segment for 9/11 security fees.


So, 50,000 Continental miles/AMEX points or 40,000-50,000 Starpoints will get you 50,000 Amtrak points, which will get you 250,000 Choice points, which will get you 100 Southwest credits!

Jackpot, right?

There’s just one hiccup in that logic, unless you have Amtrak elite status you can only transfer a maximum of 25,000 points out of your Amtrak account per calender year.

That’s actually not too big of a problem: it doesn’t say anywhere that you can only have one Amtrak account!

If you would rather keep life simple and not have 2 amtrak accounts you can also transfer 25,000 points out this year, and then the other 25,000 points on 01/01/08.


OK, Jackpot! 12 Round-Trip tickets and a companion pass (6 award flights for 96 credits, times two because of the companion pass) for just 50,000 Continental miles/AMEX points or 40,000-50,000 Starpoints!


One caveat: Amtrak Guest Rewards has earned a bad reputation for axing United as a transfer partner overnight without any prior warning back in 2004. Amtrak may end this transfer opportunity at any time, so:

1. Do not delay-do this ASAP!

2. Do not let points idle in an Amtrak account, transfer them to Choice points ASAP.


As far as how this values a mile, here are a couple quick guesses:

-4,000 Continental miles is enough for a $400 Manhattan hotel room. Value=.10/mile

-50,000 Continental miles is enough for a 12 Round-Trip tickets and a companion pass. Value=???? It all depends if you use those tickets for $100 flights or $1,000 flights and how often you use the companion pass!

So is it worth getting 8 free Southwest credits for enrollment? Absolutely! Is it worth using Obopay to generate Continental miles? That’s your call!

Upcoming Continental Airlines Changes…

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Here are some of the changes that I warned were coming previously in “Continental Airlines Tidbits…

-Unlike Delta’s recent move to the contrary, Continental will continue to offer EasyPass rewards as long as there is a seat on the flight!

-Effective 12/01:

-Elimination of the 500 mile, online booking bonus.

-Effective 02/01:

-Standard Rewards will be renamed “SaverPass”

-First Class reward mileage requirements will be changing for travel within or between the 48 contiguous U.S., Alaska and Canada. SaverPass rewards will increase to 50,000 miles from 45,000, and EasyPass rewards will require 100,000 miles instead of 90,000.

-EasyPass BusinessFirst rewards between North America and the following regions will increase:

  • Asia will increase to 300,000 miles from 250,000.
  • India/Africa/Middle East will increase to 300,000 miles from 250,000.
  • TRAVEL BETWEEN THE U.S. AND ISRAEL VIA THE NONSTOP EWR-TLV FLIGHTS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE AT THE PRESENT TIME!
  • Southern South America will increase to 250,000 miles from 180,000.

-Tickets issued before Feb, 1, 2008, regardless of travel dates, will be honored at the lower reward amounts.

Continental Airlines Tidbits…

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

Continental has been one of the few major carriers to consistently turn a profit. They do so not with offshoring their calling centers (ahem, United) but by listening closely to what their frequent flyers have to say.

They still serve free meals on domestic flights, and all call centers are US based. Their airport clubs (Free access with AMEX Plat) are top-notch, offering free wi-fi and alcoholic beverages that most others charge for.

Continental’s Onepass mileage program has been getting more generous of late, and now only trails AA in terms of standard reward availability. It also contains bargains like 70,000 mile coach tickets/100,000 BusinessFirst tickets to Israel. Reward availability is even better for elite members.

Continental has a dedicated employee who takes the time to post online about new initiatives and program changes, and makes sure that any problems reported by flyers online are resolved.

The entire executive team spends a couple days every year meeting up with an online focus group of frequent flyers to discuss the issues and give them a behind the scenes look at the airline.


Odds and ends learned and various program changes that came out of this year’s meeting:

-Ability to standby on the day of departure for International BusinessFirst mileage upgrades. Until now this was only possible to/from Hawaii. They haven’t done this until now due to the fear of phantom bookings, and Continental said they will cancel the program if the system is abused…

-Addition of a million-mile elite club. This will be based on actual flown miles, like Delta and United. It will be retroactive for all previous flown miles.

-There are no current plans to “spin-off” the Onepass mileage program a la Air Canada.

-Mileage rates will be going up later this month for select routes…

-Continental will not have an economy-plus section like United’s.

-Continental will start filling middle seats from the back of the plane towards the front.

-Continental’s 787’s will be 9 seats across in a 3-3-3 configuration and a 17.5″ seat width.

-Continental plans to fly to Sydney at some point with the 787.

-Continental will open the first airline club in Las Vegas, in the 2nd quarter of 2008.

-Air France awards can now be booked online-more Skyteam partners to come.

-Airplane internet access is coming soon. VOIP will probably be blocked.

-You will soon be able to use part of an electronic travel certificate and keep the residual value.

-Priority standby for elites coming soon.

-US Airways exiting Pittsburgh was a major catalyst for the planned 40% expansion of the Cleveland hub.
