Continental says that there are upgrade seats available on my dates using OnePass miles.
I don't have any onepass miles, and I now need 60k, can I transfer into onepass from any of the following:
Marriott - Around 15K
Starwood - Around 10k
United - Around 250k
Asiamiles - Around 80k
CC Points - around 60k equiv (can transfer into Asiamiles/Krisflyer/Royal Orchid/Worldperks)
Any suggestions?
Hi Chynacom...I replied in your other thread.
I see you are trying to achieve a Star Alliance Upgrade AWard on CO with UA miles.
If the first agent does not see the award availability, call back and ask for a supervisor.
There is no wait-listing permitted for these Star Alliance Upgrades. So basically you have to keep calling UA every day. (if you have already committed to the B-fare on CO).
As pointed out on this thread, the award availability changes very dynamically and your route HKG-EWR is a very tough one to get an upgrade even for CO elites.
