from the CO website:
Flights Ineligible for Mileage Credit
OnePass mileage may not be earned on certain Continental Airlines and other OnePass airline partner tickets. These include, but are not limited to:
Continental tickets purchased and used in violation of Continental's Contract of Carriage, fare tariffs and OnePass Program.
All free travel, including OnePass reward travel.
Unpublished charter flights.
Industry-free or industry-reduced rate tickets.
Promotional certificates.
Unpublished fares, such as priceline.com and Hotwire.
Tickets, products or services purchased and used in violation of the terms and conditions applicable to Continental's OnePass partners.
Priceline offers different ways of purchasing airline tickets. You can put in a bid, and if it's accepted, Priceline will tell you the carrier and the routing. This method would yield an "unpublished" fare.
But Priceline also acts as a traditional online travel agent, displaying a variety of published fares, showing airline and routing in advance of purchase. It sounds like this is the method the OP used, so he should be on a "published" fare, and thus entitled to OnePass mileage credit.
