Via Wandering Aramean & United’s tweet from about an hour ago, United Airlines will retain the ‘Mileage Plus’ name as its frequent flyer program. I’m in agreement with Seth that Continental’s ‘OnePass’ doesn’t carry the same strength of brand & name as Mileage Plus, so I’m happy with the not-so-shocking decision to keep it as…

United Airlines announces streamlined travel updates today
Today, United Airlines added a merger integration update as one of the six main featured articles appearing in the center of the main landing page.

Denver mileage discrepancies between United Airlines & Continental Airlines
Many mileage and points addicts who travel frequently have some sort of spreadsheet or subscribe to a service to track and monitor their airline, hotel & car loyalty accounts. I pride myself on my spreadsheet, and although basic without much aesthetic beauty, it calculates everything I care about and is my tool for determining where…
United Airlines & Continental award chart changes effective June 15, 2011
Yesterday, United Airlines and Continental announced award chart changes to become effective June 15, 2011. The current & new award structure can be found here.

Continental and United complimentary elite domestic upgrades
I joined OnePass more than 20 years ago and still have my original card, which includes the Eastern Airlines reservations number and logo on the back. I also signed up for the Continental Airlines Chase checking account & have been accruing miles for my purchases, as well as earned 25,000 bonus miles. So, I suppose…
Earn 25,000 miles on Continental Airlines by opening a Chase checking account
Continental Airlines is offering up to 25,000 bonus miles (plus free first checked bags) by opening a Chase checking account before December 31, 2010. When United Airlines offered the same promotion earlier in the year, I tried to sign-up, but was unsuccessful since Chase was only offering Washington Mutual products here in California. The branches…
United Airlines announces updates for the 2011/2012 Mileage Plus program
Today, United Airlines announced updates to the Mileage Plus program for 2011 and 2012. Just about every blogger has already posted their thoughts, and here are mine: Update: EQM and EQS earned in both Mileage Plus and OnePass count toward 2012 status.
