Keep trying. I just booked that 20k+ $377.30 SFO-HNL-ANC-SFO itinerary that's being discussed on Mileage Run. It took me about 45 minutes to get through the booking process.

WOW - have I been spoiled on AA website. Just tried logging on and navigating thru CO website - frankly, it is pathetically slow.
How do you all put up with it? lol.
1/12 4:30 P.M. FLL time.

O.K. -I have to vent. I have only been able to access CO website ONCE in almost 4 hours.
How do you CO regulars put up with it??
Absolutely horrible - especially after all the bragging about it by Gordo that I had to read in his magazine today.

It's been pretty unusable for a good part of today. I'm getting unable to find server going just to the main page now. I wonder if they took it down because whatever happened was bad. Pure speculation, but maybe they got hacked or something.
I never really liked the new website. The minute they opened it, it looked to me to be exactly the same as the old one, with a different color and font scheme, yet it still has all the old problems.

Consider yourself lucky if today is the only day you have problems.
The site has pretty much been useless to me since October when some bug in their system messes up my frequent flyer records & reservations. Apparently, I'm not alone...in early December, they promised a quick fix because of many others in the same shoes as me.
Unfortunately, here we are in mid-January and I still can't use continental.com.
The scary thing is the bugs translate offline as well; while OnePass has my total mileage balance (and the same can be viewed online), they aren't able to see any activity on my account from September on.
My last email/phonecall to them last week was responded with a "our techies are looking into it."
