There's also a way to purchase those extra miles directly, though, because I've never been that desperate, I've never done it. The cost is $25/1000 miles. It's a framed site so I can't take you there directly, but go to www.smartflier.com , click on "deals for each airline" then "Continental" for more details. There you will find other ways to get those miles as well, some of which were mentioned above.

Good luck and...
