Amex blue
I just got my new blue card. I am planning to buy a ticket for May 5-6. Does anyone know if I use the blue card, will I get that bonus plus all the other amex bonuses? Or should I wait to use this card until after May 15th?

Why would you wait till after May 15th? Did I miss a posting?
When I was talking to One Pass yesterday they mentioned a BLM1 code for and AMEX purchase. I don't have any other info on it but someone out there might. It was double miles I think

May 15th is when the amex bonuses end. I meant should I wait to use the blue card until these end so I don't loose all the other bonuses.

Does anyone know whether the BLM1 promotion counts for flights taken after 4/1 but purchased with the AMEX Blue card before 4/1?

You won't lose any bonuses whatsoever but gain an additional bonus in the Amex Blue promotion. Yet another double mileage bonus.

srodr, from what others have posted in the threads re: bonuses, it looks like all the Amex bonuses are combinable -- and retroactive, if I'm not mistaken. So you can buy the ticket now, and you'll get all the Amex bonuses you register for, including BLM1.
thecortex, according to the fine print, tickets must be purchased between 4/1 and 6/30. I got the BLM1 offer in the mail, so here are the relevant conditions, for reference (I skipped over the usual legalese):

- This offer is valid only on flights operated by Continental Airlines, Continental Express, Continental Micronesia or Continental-ticketed flights on Virgin Atlantic or Air France. To qualify for this offer, all flights must be round-trip and flown from 4/1/01 through 6/30/01. [...] Tickets must be purchased from 4/1/01 through 6/30/01 with Blue from American Express. [...] Double OnePass miles will be calculated on the actual miles flown.
