i have been spending 40 bucks a year for 5 years on a credit card that accumulate one pass air miles, naively assuming that when it came time to use the miles i would be able to do so - WRONG with a capital G.

I tried about 10 different vacation destinations at 5 different times of the year and in every single case, i would have to use double air miles on at least one of the two legs- often on both- on a couple of the trips there were no tickets available even using double airmiles- for several of the trips such as to tel aviv and zurich there were no tickets using standard air miles for months on end-

continental are a disgrace- i am cancelling my membership at once
