Got mine today
The envelope was so thin this year, I thought the letter was going to say:
"Dear Sir,
Thank you for your interest in our elite program. There were many outstanding, highly-qualified frequent flyers this year who were interested in earning elite status for the 2005-06 period. I regret to inform you that you were not selected this year.
Nevertheless, as a token of our appreciation for your deeply-discounted loyalty, please accept the enclosed certificates for a free headset, which will be yours to keep and can be used on any future Continental flight. Please be assured that we had every intention to provide you with a luggage tag or a President's Club brochure, but unfortunately we spent the money reprinting and resending the 2004 elite member's guide last year. We hope you'll be satisfied with the enclosed luggage stickers instead.
Thank you for your understanding and best of luck with your future flying. In the meantime, please feel free to peruse the enclosed member's guide, which will provide you with something to read while you wait for the revised version, which should be mailed to you in the next month or so.
Sincerely,
Mark Bergsrud"

We are in complete argeement, I too would pay for better goodies. I was referring to the people who were upset more "free" stuff was not included...

Thanks to 50% EQM and my company's policy prohibiting purchasing my own ticket on line, my 66,000 miles that would have gotten a gold left me with 33,000 and a silver.
