Tried to play the comp game with continental, no luck , was only Silver with Delta, Continental wouldn't match it to keep me. Guess they looked at my profile and realized I was flying to IAH so ther wasn't a chance I would go through SLC or Dallas to get to Houston so why give away the extra miles.
Reached Platinum anyway, lossing my Silver on Delta, but Delta's U/G policy doesn't compare to Continentals.
The F/C seats are worth more than the free flights.
