10 Cards To Earn Continental Miles With.
« on: October 11, 2010, 03:47:50 PM »
I see that Continental has several signup bonus offers available:

30k Miles for the Continental OnePass MC from Chase
25k Miles for the Continental Debit Card from Chase (recently expired offer)
28k Points (transferable to Continental Miles 1:1) for Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
40k *woods Points (transferable to Continental for 25k miles, a terrible deal I know)

Are there other signup offers which can be made into Continental Miles that I am missing?

More importantly, what other airlines have multiple ways of earning miles through signup bonuses, and what are those offers?

Like I wrote on the main site, that offer was scheduled to, and indeed expired yesterday.

You need to clear your browser's cache and cookies and/or use a different browser.
And the current offer is 10K upon signup and 30K when you spend $15K within 6 months.

It appears that it's been extended until 10/25

Great, got approved. Thanks!

Do I cancel my wifes card and clear her MR points before I apply for her again or can I overlap?

In my case, my wife and I each had cards from the similar April 2010 offer.  We each moved our points to Continental and cancelled the cards on 9/29/10.  On 10/8/10 we applied for the current offer and received the cards in the mail yesterday.  We called to confirm that we are to get the 25K points after $1K spend in 3 months.  Good to go!

Nice. I cancelled my card yesterday and was approved today. Looks like today is last day to apply. Firefox seems to be doing better the IE on application. IE keeps gettings errors.
