My preference is to wait until some time after March 1 to apply, but then my concern would be whether or not I would receive the miles by entering my Continental frequent flyer # for a second time on an application (first time was for the OnePass Plus card).
How would you proceed?
This is a good point and I'm concerned now as well - will the systems be smart enough to credit the points to the obsolete UA MileagePlan number, which then credits to the linked CO account?
Like you, I applied for the original CO card about a year ago, but since we both got the card before 7/19/2011 we should get both bonuses according to ThePointsGuy.
