When it came to choosing a C.C. I should have listened to my fellow CO FT members....

Warning: OnePass rant

Most of my travel is now on AA or CO from Sea to Leon. Last year I wanted to aquire a C.C. that I could use to get miles for travel and upgrades....I asked FT which affinity card I should go for and the majority of you said AA.... that CO onepass miles are nearly impossible to use....Well... since I have enjoyed CO flights both with service and schedule more I didn't listen and went with the CO card....

As many of you have experienced... it is nearly impossible to use these CO miles that I and my partner have amassed. It is so frustrating....no award seats on the days we want and absolutely no upgrades using miles available for months at a time.

I should have listend to you guys... we did have some AS miles saved and I was able to use them on AA on the dates and times I wanted.... no dice with CO. They are just sitting in our account festering....
