« on: January 12, 2011, 11:41:04 AM »
Effective 1/11/11 continental will no longer be giving 1 year status matches they will now be implementing uniteds policy and you will need to fly a certain amount of miles, in 90 days. to maintain the status.... united rules suck >:(

I am *A gold until 2012, so I figured I would wait until after the cutoff, so I'd have it until 2013. Oh well

How many miles do you have to fly?
Could it be a YMMV situation? SF, where you offered a full status match, or is it really confidential
