Our new elite credentials and a letter telling us how lucky we are to be customers of Continental Airlines.
Maybe a coupon for $5 headset/beer.</font>
Remember the days of $100 Gift Certificates for Ashford? Bet those won't be back anytime soon
Fortunately, thanks to EUA, I didn't have to use any of the headset/beer vouchers they sent in '03 in '03 --I gave all of them away to friends.
What I'd really like is complimentary elite access into another travel program. 2 years ago they included complimentary Gold Status in Hilton HHonors. Maybe they can offer complimentary Diamond Status to OnePass Platinums... or Platinum Status in Starwood's or Hyatt's programs. (I can just here the Flyertalkers from those programs scream at the thought
)Surely those programs cost very little to the airline ..and would be of significant value to the hotel chains to tap into the frequent traveling public.
