Stay elite? Huh? Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't one get the same ELITE miles no matter HOW the flight is booked--whether on continental.com or not? I mean, sure, you get 1000 bonus miles when booking on continental.com, but those aren't elite miles. Therefore, what does continental.com have to do with your needing miles to stay elite?
