I recently found a file from 1997 that had lots of info on the Onepass program.

Included was a letter to my (then gold elite) husband that included a "Bonus Cheque" for 2,000 Onepass miles, as a way of "thanking you and sharing the good fortune Continental has experienced this past year. Just fill in your Onepass account number or send it to a friend or associate and we will credit the proper Onepass account." Apparently, CO was the first airline to receive the J. D. Power and Associates award as the #1 airlines two years in a row.

I also have a letter from CO's Presidents Club that includes a coupon for a Complimentary Two-Hour Conference Room Use. It doesn't have an expiration date, do you think he could still use it?

The 1996 Members Guide states that gold members can redeem rewards for travel, free of capacity controls at reduced mileage miles; purchase FC confirmed upgrades for $25 to $350, depending on class purchased and number of miles per segment; unlimited confirmed upgrades at any time (even to Hawaii) from Y or H class; and silver and bronze members were given four "Elite One-Way Space-Available Upgrade" certificates after every 10,000 miles flown.

There is also a plastic Priority Handling tag from 1996, new and unused.
