Preview page troubles

If I go to www.continental.com, it asks me to sign in on the “preview page” but then says it could not process me because I was not invited.

It makes it also look as if I have not signed in to the regular page.

And it won’t take me to that page.

But I can click on “sign in” on the button at the top of the page that has just rejected me.

But then it turns out I am already signed in to the Preview Page!!!

Go figure!

Hmm, I can get in

its mostly the same, As far as I can tell....
There is a cool new thing:
Complimentary Elite Upgrade setting for this flight : On | Off

so you can switch off EUA if you're with a non-EUA eligible pax (reward ticket, etc).

I guess that's Bug #1. Anyone can get into the Preview page!

I was not invited either, but I can get in after being rejected, just as you describe.

Hmmm..

I am not seeing the "preview page" option anywhere. I signed out and then back in with the same sequence and presentation.

Me neither, though Scott sent me the email telling me I would be invited when it happened. Maybe it'll come later tonight

Still no email from CO, but I was able to log in to the site no problem, thanks to a pointer from entropy.

There is no special link on the main page, but some creativity with the word "preview" in the URL seemed to do the trick. Try using it towards the beginning of the line.

"! The [preview] Web site is limited to invited customers."

I signed up with Scott too.

EDIT: Looks like it logged me in anyway...

I'm not sure I know what you guys are talking about, but have a suspition that "preview" refers to previewing the beta version of Continental.com. As far as I know, I'm signed up to be a "previewer," although I did not sign a formal document with Scott.

In any event, Contintental.com looks different on my screen; mainly, many of the text items are so washed out and small that I can barely read them. It's definately a new screen, but I find no indication of "Preview" or the fact that I am one of the beta-testers.

Does anyone know where we are to report "bugs?"

Edited to add that I found that using my wife's OnePass number does not get me the new screen, Then, signing in for myself again did not get the new screen. I'm totally confused.

Got a Bug Using Mac 10.4 & Firefox

Was able to sign in to the preview page, thanks to above hints.

Do I post the bug I came across here, or wait for Scott to send me a confirming email?
