Merger Archives - Frequent Flyer University

In a few hours Continental will cease to exist ; (

I was actually a fan of CO and flew on their BusinessFirst Product from Newark to Bombay and was impressed. I also liked their DIRECTV in-flight entertainment.

Now before you freak about about your CO miles, don’t worry they will still be there tomorrow in the form of United miles!

Using Miles, a free points tracking service, just sent me an extremely helpful email about the United / Continental merger, so I thought I’d share it!

Continental OnePass members (no previous United MileagePlus account):

Your old OnePass account number becomes your new MileagePlus account number, effective March 3rd, 2012.

United MileagePlus members (no previous Continental OnePass account):

United will assign you a new MileagePlus 8-digit account number on or before March 3rd, 2012, and your old 11-digit MileagePlus number will be retired.

AFTER March 3rd, you can get your new account number by going to: http://www.mileageplusmergerupdates.com/en/mp/Welcome

Continental OnePass & United MileagePlus account members (who have linked their accounts with United Airlines):

Your old OnePass number becomes your new MileagePlus account number, effective March 3rd, 2012.

Continental OnePass & United MileagePlus members(who have NOT linked their accounts with United Airlines):

You now basically have two MileagePlus accounts:

Your original MileagePlus account: Sign in on United.com: use new 8-digit account number (assigned by United) AND use original United password

Your NEW MileagePlus account, that replaces your original OnePass account. Sign in on United.com: use original OnePass account number AND use original OnePass password

You can call 1-800-421-4655 to link your accounts, or wait for an online tool on United coming in April.

Hope that helps!
