Choice Privileges- AMtrack- Continental
« on: October 12, 2009, 10:56:37 AM »
back in october of 2007, dan posted this deal
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/2843
I wanted to transfer my 25,ooo continental miles to aa. so... everything went smooth till i tried to transfer them out of choice privileges into american airlines.... then choice privileges told me that i could not do that, unless i sigh up for their visa card, or i stay one night in a choice privileges hotel.
so fast forward 2 years down the line, and i am stuck with 125,000 choice privlages points, and nothing to do with them. they expire in December. I would care to get it back into my continental, just nothing to do with them in choice privileges

Wow...I made off like a bandit in this deal...good memories.
Why did you wait 2 years before trying to do something?
The credit card requirement was added some time after I posted the deal.
I would open their credit card ASAP to allow yourself to make a mileage transfer if you have no use for their hotels.

I think the credit card requirement was added because you posted your deal... lol
My credit is not that great now... so I wont get accepted.
At the time i thought i would wait till i needed a hotel room somewhere, and that would solve the issue.... now its two years later and i am stuck

I would wager that the answer is yes, but no guarantees.  You can improve your odds if they apply with you as additional cardholder.

dan,
I tried doing it online, and the box that asked for the member number only let you put in 6 digits instead of 7. So i did it over the phone, and the card came in the mail with a new CP number, NOt the one i requested on the phone. time is running short. any ideas?

Call CP and have them merge your old account and move the points into your new account.

Lol, now you've got a problem!
The box for the choice card lets you input up to 8 numbers...you knew you were doing something shady why would you bother applying without getting it right???

btw I have noticed that the numbers are made according to your name and DOB.
the first charachter is the first letter of your name, the second is an X the third is the last letter in your name, then the next four numbers are you DOB, month and day.... though i am not sure about the last two digits.

I believe the CP number needed is just the 3 letters and the 4 numbers.

Do the accounts have different last names or just first names?

So you tried merging the accounts and they wouldn't let?

Try telling them you opened up your old account with your middle name and the new one with the credit card with your first name and see if they'll merge the points from the old account into the new account with the credit card attached to it?
