this sounds good...although after i purchase a ticket on CO.O.L i don't think i am going to spend more time looking for better fares AFTER i already plunked down my credit card.

i guess if i found a lower fare on travelocity, i might deliberately purchase on CO.O.L for the freebie certificate, but also not sure if i would take the risk. Continental is good at finding loopholes to their promise.
