Yes...one year. In fact, all of the coupons in the book are valid for one year (i.e. $$$ off RT airfare coupon and hotel and car rental upgrade / discount coupons).

I tried again at the LAX counter and the rep there pushed it through, but it took a few phone calls and some extra time. I think the total ended up at $147. (Still not bad for a $400 fare.)
They really are a good deal, but it's a little work to use them.

PS The rep a LAX reminded me twice that I had to fly with the companion or their ticket would void out. I guess they can run a check at the gate...

You don't have to go to the counter you can do it over the telephone. You just have to mail the coupon in with the confirmation number. Done this several times with no hassle. Companion fare you still have to pay US taxes, pfc's etc, it does round out to about 129.00-135.00 depending where you are flying. I order one of these every year. Earn miles, get upgraded for myself and companion. True has to be booked together same day travel. They will waive booking fees because you CANNOT do this over the internet.

newbie to group...question re prestige packs
This is my first encounter with this group...lots of good info. Thanks. Going to Hawaii on continental end of Oct. 04. What exactly is the prestige package and how do we go about getting it. I'm also a new one pass memeber so my current miles are pretty low. Thanks for patience and help

My husband, just got an "opportunity to enhance your OnePass membership with the added values of Privilege Pacs" with his paper OP statement. It says this is a "one time offer" to Elite OP members.

ecoupon?
"- Discount certificate -- save up to $100 on a Continental round-trip ticket: $25 off $175-$274 ticket, $50 off $275-$399 ticket, $10 off a ticket over $399"
The dollar off certificate, is that something I can use to book at co.com or is only call in or go to airport kind of thing?
Reason I ask is that I'm flying fairly soon and don't know when my Prestige Pack was coming. Wondering if OnePass can give me the ID # of these certs over the phone so that I can book my itinary now.

do you have to book the tickets at the same time? just found out that a companion wants to come with me when i visit my family for thanksgiving. i just ordered the prestige pack last week for the miles. is it worth it to wait for the pp and try to book my friend as my companion?

Platinum Elites can order whenever...
I called the OnePass desk to register for an offer... and while on the line, I asked them if a year had passed yet for me to order a new Prestige Pack. They said I ordered one 10 months ago... but because I was a "valued Platinum Elite", I could re-order one whenever I wanted. As such, I bought another one. A few minutes later, my miles popped-up in my account

Can anyone else confirm this?
