Continental Select offer

Several months ago I signed up for the challenge of taking 7 trips between 4/1 & 9/30(certain fare schedules) and if successful I would receive 28,000 miles. I will be one trip short . . . does EWR-ABE qualify as a flight even though it is a bus?
Schedule lists a Y fare and flight number. Has anyone used this RT as flight/segment credit?

You'll find a flight to BOS from EWR will be cheaper than the ABE bus ..just punch in some dates ZFV-BOS. (Same is true to FLL, where FLL is about $100 less than the ABE bus.) So if you're looking for a flight just to get the Continental Select credit, you might as well go some place a little more affordable and a little more fun than ABE.

I found a (ZFV)EWR-BOS flight that qualified for the Continental Select offer for $143 r/t. And with the current Amtrak offers, it added 1k bonus miles. And the itinerary left in the morning and returned in the evening, making it an enjoyable Saturday trip.
