If you read the fine print at

In the event of flight irregularity, alternate travel will be provided only on Continental Airlines or the applicable code-share partner.
Now, just in case some overzealous GA reads this, I am bunching redemptions into large amounts so as to minimize my exposure to CO-only rerouting. (And yes, some stations are happier to reroute off CO than others, but my home (out)station is one that will do this fairly easily, so this is a big deal for me if it were enforced. YMMV.)
