Continental One Pass update
« on: November 01, 2010, 11:27:51 AM »
I logged into my one pass online account today, and they make you read this before you login (I only posted the parts that I feel they want to change), what does this mean? what kind of changes should we excpect?:

Program Changes
Continental Airlines and all OnePass partners reserve the right to change any aspect of the OnePass program at any time within 30 days notice to active members. This right includes, but is not limited to, changes in partner affiliation, rules for earning mileage credit, rules on earning Elite status, Elite benefits and mileage redemption levels. However, rules for use of travel rewards, cities served, flight schedules, limited seating or space availability, restricted travel dates and specific features of promotional offers are subject to change with or without notice at the discretion of Continental Airlines or the OnePass partner. Continental Airlines is not responsible for unilateral actions taken by OnePass partners.

Official up-to-date information concerning the OnePass program is available throughout the Frequent Flyer section of continental.com. Information about the OnePass program published through continental.com is the final authority with respect to the terms and conditions of membership in OnePass and supercedes any conflicting information contained in any previously published communications.

Continental Airlines reserves the right to discontinue the OnePass program with six months notice to members. This means that, regardless of your level of participation in the program, your right to accumulate mileage and claim rewards will be terminated six months after we give you notice.

Mileage Expiration
Miles currently have no expiry date; however, Continental Airlines reserves the right to impose expiry limits or terminate the OnePass program, thus terminating your ability to claim rewards.

Inactive Membership
If no mileage is deposited in your account for 18 consecutive months, your membership may be cancelled, and your miles may be forfeited. To keep your account active, you can earn mileage with a variety of airline, non-travel and shopping partners. Please visit the Earn Miles section of this site for a full list of earnings partners.

General Elite Program Terms
The Elite program is an extension of the OnePass frequent flyer program. All OnePass program rules apply unless otherwise stated herein. In the event of any inconsistency, the OnePass program rules will govern.

2010 OnePass Elite benefits are valid from Mar. 1, 2010, until Feb. 28, 2011, and are subject to change from year to year. The Elite program commencing Mar. 1, 2011, may not necessarily include all the benefits contained herein.

They don't currently expire miles, but they reserve the right to if you don't have activity.
AFAIK they have never expired anyone's miles.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

 could be CO will adapt UAs T&Cs which is 18 months and no longer offer no exp. So they are simply covering themselves for when they change it to UAs system
