Odd Invitation from Continental?
 

I got home yesterday to find this in my mailbox. It was addressed to me....looked like a possible wedding/shower invite, full postage (so not junk mail).

First, let me say I'm not a "supporter" of the arts - so I've never given money to Broadway in Austin or any other organization, nor do I know Frank Spillman. The only connection I have here is to Continental Airlines.

Unfortunately, I'm off to Amsterdam today, so I can't go, but I'd love to know if any other Plats in Austin got this. I'm VERY Plat - I'm already qualified for next year - this is my fourth BF trip in 5 months, so yes I'm a Co* too.

Maybe it's the CO* Connection?
 

Frank Spillman a regional sales director (I'm not quite sure what region, but I would guess Texas-ish). My take on it is that CO is trying to Wine & Dine it's best customers and this translates to middle-upper management targeting the CO*'s for limited promotions like this. Who knows? Didn't Cigarman say something to the effect that each CO* is 'adopted' by a CO manager - if so, I would wager that you were adopted into Mr. Spillman's family that works hard and flies right. Either way, congrats on the invitation and this IAH (but certainly drivable to AUS) Plat will be happy to go in your place :D

Sorry but the invitation was very clear: " Invitation NON-transferable". I have lots of friends that would LOVE to go.

Nope, I didn't get one, but I'm not a *. :rolleyes:

I am not anything elite but I love going to Bass Concert Hall so I would definately enjoy attending in your place :P

PS - Enjoy Amsterdam!

Since they know your travel schedule they probably mailed aftre you made AMS reserervation. That way they get good vibes from you at no cost to them...:) :)
