I started serious business travel in 1989 and achieved 1 million on USAir around 1996. I surpassed the 2 million mark with US in 2001, but stopped flying them when they went into bankruptcy I after 9/11. From 2002-2005, I flew Continental almost exclusively and achieved a million miles on them. I'm now back to flying US since they merged with America West and my miles are safe. Unfortunately, neither US or CO recognized Million Milers to any great extent, like American and United. All I have to show for my loyalty are a couple of leather luggage tags embossed with "USAir Million Mile Traveler" and nothing from Continental. You would think that they would give you Lifetime Silver Elite status at the very least. Is that asking too much?
