Speaking of Virgin Codeshare, the Continental website does not list Virgin as an airline partner. Can I accumulate elite mileage for flights on Virgin? If so, why is this information not available on the Continental website? With that in mind, are there other Codeshare partners (that allow me to accumulate elite mileage)not listed on the Continental website?

I believe that the Virgin arrangement is not a true code share which is why it is not advertised as one. Continental buys a fixed block of seats in UC and Y which they resell as their own flights from EWR/JFK to LHR (These are treated as if they were a mini CO flight). Any other VS flights or seats not booked through CO will not get you CO miles.
