Good?

Well this year (past month actually) got std economy class from Europe to US for relative, 2 B/F rewards to Hnl. Excellent!

However, I was platinum for about 4 yrs then down to gold and maybe this year will not even make gold by about 5,000 miles. This is due to only 50% of miles on flights that I must purchase through my corporate travel dept. If I could buy online and get 100% - no problem. Not so good!

Alternatives? not so great choices between bankrupcies and maybe points being of no value, less convenient flight schedules

So, I'll stick with continental
