Howdy guys. Had to drop in again, if for anything, just to keep an eye on Catman!

In July I took a quick jaunt to Portland and after consulting my FT support team, I found the best deal via priceline. The bad news about priceline - no miles on any airline if the trip is booked through them. And the airlines can tell the flight was booked via Priceline from your reservation record.

Well, I thought I'd try something, just for kicks. What did I have to lose? Even though I was flying America West, I gave a desk agent in Pheonix my Continental number. No problem, he said.

I just checked my Continental account for the first time since I took the flight and lo and behold the flight had posted. Whether or not this will work every time is certainly no guarantee, but in my case, as it may be in yours if you ever decide to go this route, you might want to try giving a desk agent a partner FF number.

Hope this gets you many miles!
