I spent hours on Continentals website and could not find one flight during the months of June, July and the first half of August with saver rewards. Any flight within the US was 50,000 miles--not 25,000 miles.

I would encourage EVERYONE to NOT get a airline credit card but instead get a bank REWARDS credit card. This way you will get cash back each year.

Airlines may say you get 10,000 free miles for using their credit card, but they DOUBLED the number of miles needed for a free flight. I wanted to go to Hawaii for 35,000 miles but it will cost me 70,000 unless I go during October.

wally - Just curious about where you want to go in the summer, and do you have Elite status with CO?

I tried every airport in Florida to Houston and Newark--their hubs. I purchased a ticket from PBI to SFO for only $187.00 round trip, but it would have been 50,000 miles!

wally - While it's true that standard FF awards are not abundant, it does not help others to exaggerate the problem.

I just logged in as an non-elite and checked MIA-IAH in July. There are standard awards on about 20 days in July. Same thing with return. They may not be the flight you had wanted, but if you want to fly MIA-IAH with 25,000 Onepass miles, it's clearly possible, even if one's not an elite.
