Don't worry though. As we are finding out, just because it says United on the outside doesn't mean that it's not really Continental on the inside.

Account Number
So does this mean our Onepass account number is retired or will the Onepass account number move over into the Mileage Plus system?

No action is required. OnePass members who do not already have a Mileage Plus account will automatically be enrolled in the new program. For members who have accounts in both programs, we encourage you to link your accounts now, and then we’ll do our best to match up all other accounts.

I have about 95,000 one pass miles and have not flown "United" since 1988. How are the redemption rates/availability compare for coach between Continental and United. From my brief look at uniteds page most flights to Europe from NYC/NJ cost more miles and most connected in Chicago!!! Thoughts?

In the next paragraph down UA Insider indicates that a decision will be forthcoming about the account numbers. While I do not doubt that it will be the MP account numbers that survive there is a sliver of a chance that it will be otherwise.

I've memorized my nice OnePass account string by heart. Now it's going to be reduced to a mere string of numbers

And we can already log in with either my email or MP# on United.com, so it is not like we have to use one or the other.

Can someone give an example of a Mileage Plus account number?
I will miss my OnePass number.

Older MP numbers are as follows:
00083123456
83, the year I enrolled. Very easy to remember not much different that remembering a SS number.

It's an 11 digit number..I got mine in 1988 and it starts out 00133XXXXXX.
When the program was introduced it started out with 3 preceeding zeroes so it began 0001XXXXXXX and counted up from there.
Today, new MP numbers are being issued with 0327 as the starting numbers.
When all the CO accounts are added I'm sure we'll easily be in the 04's, maybe even 05's. If you're interested in getting the lowest possible number I suggest enrolling now and link your accounts.
