For the first time ever Continental is offering a first year fee-free credit card, plus it comes with 20,000 miles, more than Continental has ever offered before!
You also get 5% off every continental ticket that you book!
Continental has some of the best mileage tickets to Israel, only 70,000 in coach, and only 100,000 is business-first class!!!
To sign up just call 1-800-648-0139 and tell them that your friend received this offer in the mail and that you want it also, and they will give it to you!
This card is a business card, so you will need a business name and a tax-id number.
If you have your own business you can just give your SSN as your tax-id, and tell them that you are a sole-proprietorship.

$20 Off $20 Code: Urban
-The ticket must be at least $20 to get the $20 off!
-Make sure you buy 2 one-way tickets, so that you’ll get $20 off each way!
-If you have more than 1 person traveling make sure you book it serately to get the $20 off each ticket.
-Another strategy on a longer bus is to buy tickets along the stops, so that you get $20 off for each portion of the ride, for example:
NYC-Pittsburgh: Buy a NYC-Philadelphia for $1, and then a Philadelphia-Pittsburgh for $12+$4 Will-call for a total of $17.
-On routes where e-ticketing is not available there may be a $4 will-call fee.
Some cheap routes:
NYC-Philadelphia-Nonstop-$1+Free Will-call
NYC-Boston-Nonstop-$5 with 3 day advance+free eticketing.
NYC-Atlantic City-Nonstop-$4.50+$4 Will-call
NYC-Hartford-Nonstop-$5+$4 Will-call
NYC-Baltimore-Nonstop-$12+Free Will-call
Cleveland-Columbus-Nonstop-$0.50+$4 Will-call
Cleveland-Pittsburgh-Nonstop-$5.50+$4 Will-call
If you find more good routes please post them!

A few unfortunate souls stuck on cingular/tmobile have asked me when a new treo would be thrown their way, so here it is…
Treo 750v linky
This is the European release, expect the american release, called the 750c within a couple months…
-Runs on Windows Mobile OS with “Palm enhancements”
-1st treo with internal antenna
-1st treo to use the mini-sd format.
-The 750 will not run on the new high speed HSDPA data network
The 750 will have the same memory/OS specs as the treo 700wx that Sprint(with their blessedly free unlimited true high-speed internet) just released also running windows mobile. The 700wx has fared much better in tests than the much maligned Verizon’s treo 700w…

I’m looking into a few reports from users that they are not seeing new posts even when refreshing the page.
In the meantime, if you are experiencing this issue, please use ctownbochur.blogspot.com to access the site as that appears to not have the issue.
Also please post a comment here if you have experienced this issue.
Hmm…On 2nd thought this post reminds me of the catch-22 situation of the Dell technician that tells the user with problems getting online to please logon to dell.com to download the latest drivers for his system…

I’ve blogged in the past about Continental’s long-standing program that allows you to buy miles and a bunch of other discounts/goodies for a reasonable price, once per year.
The miles are especially helpful in a pinch, like if you needed a few more miles for a free ticket to Israel…(On Continental, non-stop from Newark to Tel Aviv is 70k in coach and 100k in business-first)
You can still buy yourself one of the packages until 09/15, after that date they will no longer be offered.
To order one call the OnePass Service Center at 713-952-1630
The coupons and companion certificates are actually usable, and can even be redeemed online!
There are 2 levels of privilege packs:
Executive Pack-$95.95
- 5,000 OnePass Bonus Miles
- $99 Continental Airlines Companion Ticket Valid On Any Fare
- Complimentary President’s Club Passes (2)
- Caesar Park and Caesar Business Hotels Room Upgrade

Prestige Pack-$135.95

This is such a smart idea. 2 thumbs up!
Instead of carrying around multiple memory cards for your camera or shlepping your laptop on your vacation, just pick up this card reader storage device!
It’s compatible with all of the major flash memory formats, transfers your entire card with the push of a button into a new folder, has great battery life, and has a screen to confirm that the transfer was successful!
