AGR/Continental Update

[railbuck]

I know this is an AGR forum, but many of us got the Continental credit card from Chase because they gave a huge bonus. At times, it was more efficient to use this card and then transfer points to AGR. Any ideas as to what happens to that credit card's points? Do they become United? I haven't received anything about that. My year will end in early spring and I want to make sure I can transfer points to AGR or I will just cancel it. It had some nice benefits so I was considering keeping it even though you have to pay an annual fee.

Yes, at some point early next year all Continental OnePass miles will be replaced with the same number of United MileagePlus miles. If you have both accounts now, you can link them and transfer miles. For example if you have UA miles they can be transferred to CO and then to AGR while that option is still available this year. Next year your credit card will earn UA miles instead of CO miles, and the rest of the benefits will continue.
