i've still got my very first one...i was all of 14 and it's a bonus-filled EWR-PDX trip on Continental.

Back when you had to change planes in Houston, and during the seminal days of Continental's greatness...1994.

then again, the funniest thing about all this is the 5000 mile "special" enrollment bonus. i enrolled in AAdvantage last year and got a 0 mile enrollment bonus. so randy's right about the bonus thing...funny how things have changed, even since 1994!
