(This is not Chase Manhattan's card tied to Continental Air Lines, although in addition to its any-airline awards it lets you earn certificates for travel on Continental for fewer points. I think it's a fairly new card.)

The other side of the story, which I've yet to learn about, is redeeming the miles. Has anyone on this forum who has the card tried getting a ticket with miles earned? If so, I'd be very interested in hearing about your experience.

Thanks,
