I believe their travel agencies must sell above an specific amount in revenues for Continental to keep that status...

Among some of the benefits are "free" (Im not 100% sure about this, maybe they pay taxes) confirmed FC and BF tickets whenever and wherever Continental flies. I know both of them fly to South America and Europe very often and all in BF/FC Continental. His wife actually flies to S.A. every month.

I have seen them making the reservation for them in their system in an specifc class ticket and then go to the airport and sometimes show a card. I never asked them questions about it, but next time I see them in DC I will.

Maybe someone has more info about this "Circle" for CEOs and Travel Agents owners...
