OK...it is officially a year away, but if anyone is planning to use AMEX reward points in conjunction with air travel on Continental, then you might want to take note:

Thanks for the heads-up. Wonder why I didn't get this information directly from American Express?

kapper...American Express didn't notify me. Actually noticed the mention of this change on my Twitter account and then went searching to see if it was true.

At least, we have a year to consider whether or not it is to our advantage to transfer points from AMEX Rewards and convert some of them to OnePass miles.

Don't really use Continental that often and probably will use them less when the consolidation takes place with United.

I don't fly Continental very often, but I will check my OnePass account and see if I should transfer some American Express Reward points in order to qualify for a trip.

Thanks.

Continental is usually the least expensive airline flying from Philadelphia to Mexico and other destinations in Latin America which is where we frequently go. United and the others are usually 2x more expensive than Continental and I usally can buy up to business 1st when I check in the day before for a really low cost

Use Continental from time to time, but will used them less now that United is taking them over.
