Code:
Mileathon is a rewarding promotion for OnePass members.
Here's how it works:
* Register* online between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, 2011 at
continental.com/mileathon.
* Complete qualifying credit-earning activities at continental.com. Credit-
earning activities include using online flight bookings, hotel stays and
car rentals and more. Each Mileathon activity you complete between
Feb. 1 and April 30, 2011** earns you credits. The more credits you
accumulate, the more miles you earn.
* Earn miles and go places. At the end of the promotion, the top credit-
earner in each OnePass category will also receive a Grand Reward — a
continental.com cruise package for two to a destination of your choice,
plus First Class or BusinessFirst® airfare and a $500 gift card.
Registration begins Jan. 1, 2011.
*Must reside in the 48 contiguous United States.
**This offer is not retroactive; credit accrual begins the date of registration.

I am one question regarding mileathon:
Let's say I register on Jan. 1. I'm flying on 1/5/11. Would that flight count towards mileathon even though I booked it in October?
-TIA

I am going to guess flying UA does not count?

Your date of 1/5/11 does not fall within the stated window.

As soon as I register, (starting Jan. 1) I will be able to accrue miles. My question was whether or not my flight would count because I booked it in October.

I suspect that since you cannot sign up until 1/1/11, that the link will not be active until that time. I am surprised that when you clicked on the link you didn't get something like "come back on Jan 1" in reply.

Besides un-subscribing for all email subscriptions from CO to be able to re-sign up for them (that's normally what...3 points?), is there anything else y'all can think of to do up-front to maximize point mileathon points later?

Good call on the unsubscribing. ^ Almost forgot to do that. Missed those points last time.

For easy reference, I'm pretty sure this is the necessary page:
