Yeah, it didn't work for me either, but if you go to the continental site, then click on Deals and offers, then click on OnePass news and offers, and it should be listed there

yes that finally worked..thanks TMG.

I'm only silver elite now..so for next 3 months i need to fly 25k+ miles to make platinum..25k in 3 months is still alot of miles to fly.

That's only 12,500 miles with double points. That's doable. 2 trips to costa rica will give you 20k, then take a trip somewhere else. Also, look at alternate hubs for your flights.. if you're flying out west, fly through newark.

He said he wanted to jump from Silver to Platinum, which is a 50k difference. So he still needs to fly 25k miles under the DEQM Promo.

yep..trying for platinum..need 25k miles, seems so far away..i'll probably end with gold..

anyone know if this is retroactive? i had a trip 9/9 thru 9/16 and i just registered..hopefully they'll give me the miles..i dont see it yet though.

According to the guys over at FlyerTalk, it should be retroactive. It takes a week for the double miles to post so just give it a bit more time.

I'm trying to make status by doing Mileage Runs from PHL to SEA, connecting in IAH. After DEQM, it's like 12,792 miles. I've found it for around $260, and you can be back and forth in less than 24 hours time. Four of those and you can hit your Plat status!

Or you can always make 4 trips EWR-SJO connecting in IAH. lol

wow..mileage runs eh? so basically you're not even visiting friends/relatives over in Seattle, just flying in and then taking the next flt back?

i dont kno if i have the energy to do that..

i like your suggestion on doing mileage runs to SJO tho..haha

has anyone flown continental since 9/9 and registered for this double EQM program? i haven't seen any additional miles post to my account. Just wondering if anyone else has?

I just flew a few days ago.. haven't yet seen the milage posted, so we'll see.

UPDATE:

Well, my milage posted and it was only 1x. Perhaps the 2x gets posted later. I don't know. I sent an email to them to see.

Got my double miles..

Its posted on your account labeled as "earn elite twice as fast"

got an email back from Continental, they say the double EQM's post 1-2 weeks after your flight.

Although that is correct, that posting takes 1-2 weeks, any upgrade in status becomes effective immediately upon earning the miles. For example, if double miles give you silver status on your way to SJO, you become eligible for a free upgrade on the way home. However, just to make sure, you may want to call CO and tweak the CSR beforehand.

Ciaociao

Yes, but that's only if your 1x miles earn you the elite status. If you need the 2x to get there, you have to wait for those to post.

i guess you just made silver status..now you go for gold! still alot of time left..

Great. It's already too easy to make elite status...now it's going to be even easier. What is the benefit of having elite status if everybody is elite?

I think they should change the qualification to 75k for silver, 100k for gold and 150k for platinum. And maybe bring back the International Elite level for 200k.
