OnePass is turning 21. [Poker tournament in LAS] [Threads merged]

CO Insider · Apr 16, 08, 9:13 am

Hi Everyone, as you may know, our OnePass frequent flyer program is turning 21 this year. And we plan to celebrate this milestone with a one-of-a-kind event. I’ll give you a hint: inspiration for the idea came from our previous Houston DO’s.

Any guesses?

Those of you that receive our OnePass e-statement, be sure to look out it for later today. Once it's been sent, I’ll also post the details here (although I’m sure one of you will beat me to it).

You’re not going to want to “hold” out, because space for this event will be very limited!

"Hold"?

Something to do with poker or blackjack. Las Vegas Presidents Club. 21.

I guess Lawrence Kellner will grant my petition for Diamond Elite status. This very deserved gesture will happen at a gala ceremony on Smith Street! Am I right?

Oh the CO Insider is being such a tease!

My guess is a private event at the new President's Club at LAS....

hmmm - How can it be turning 21 when my OnePass card says "Member Since 86." Remember me?? - I'm the one who signed up upon birth

Time with CO includes the legacy TravelBank program.

Hi Pinky, OnePass was formed in 1987, when the original Continental frequent flyer program (known as Travel Bank) was merged with the Eastern Airlines Frequent Flight Bonus program. If you've been a member since 1986, that means you were originally signed up with one of these two preceding programs.

1983 for me. Eastern Air Lines

I don't know which one it was because I was too young...

My guess: an event at NYC's 21 Club Restaurant?

86 for me at CO. My first was AA in 85.

I noticed that AA actually puts the exact date you joined (month, day, year) at the top of your AA account online.

So that not-so-lucrative new Continental 'Travel Bank' credit card from Chase is actually a throwback name? Fun.

Gotta dig around for my old PSA 'Executive Flyer' card from my first trip to Disneyland.

Member since 85. I still have Eastern memorabilia.
