New to FlyerTalk and OnePass
Hi! I am a new member of Flyertalk, having just heard about it on the Today show this a.m. My parents are One Pass members, and have something like 6000 miles between them from a flight last year, or the year before. Do these miles expire? Should I try to use them to book our family trip to Florida? Any advice or tips for a newbie?
Also, if anyone else watched the Today show this and got a good look at the other wedsites they mentioned, specifically something fare---.com, I'd love to know what it is!
Thanks!
Kelly

Another Web site on the Today Show
The other site that Peter Greenberg suggested is FlightAlert.net. It's a site that e-mails you with great deals on travel. Easy to sign up for too. Onepass miles do not expire, but 6,000 will not get much. Go to onepass.com or continental.com and look up miles, and then "using your miles" to view a chart.
Good luck,
Bert

Miles do not expire, however they reserve the right to close your acct and give you the maximum reward you may have attained if there is not activity within 18 months - we have yet to see them actually do it.
What would you like to gain out of the OnePass Program? What will your travel pattern be like?

TO give credit where credit is due!
A poster on this board is the one who found the Fiji $51.00 fare mentioned on the Today show. Thank Channa for that find! Check out the Mile Run forum for the thread.
