In case you didn't receive this email, I'll post it here. I didn't realize that by giving access to your FF account, anyone with it could "steal" your miles...
It has recently come to our attention that some web sites are requesting
that visitors disclose their OnePass number and Personal Identification
Number (PIN) to view OnePass account information. We want our members to
know that Continental Airlines does not have a business relationship with
these web sites -- they access our OnePass account information without our
consent or involvement through the use of PIN numbers provided by members.
Currently Continental is investigating a number of unauthorized OnePass
mileage withdrawals, which in most cases, involve the disclosure of a
OnePass PIN to a third party. In the interest of protecting members from
these potential abuses, Continental discourages members from providing
their OnePass PIN to any third party, as this gives the third party the
ability to withdraw miles from the member's account.
In order to protect your account, you should access your account
information directly through Continental's web site at
www.continental.com/onepass. If you have provided your OnePass number and
PIN to a third party, we recommend calling the OnePass Service Center
InfoPass at 713-785-8999 to change your PIN. If you have any questions
about this issue, please contact the OnePass Service Center at
[email protected].
Thank you.
