Bad changes
Given these changes coming soon, is it worth it to stay w/OnePass, or maybe time to change over to Delta/NW miles programs?
* Effective for travel on or after Jan. 1, 2009, OnePass members will earn the actual miles flown rather than a minimum of 500 miles per flight for tickets purchased on or after Nov. 15, 2008.
* Effective for reward travel booked on or after Jan.1, 2009, reward travel mileage requirements will increase for customers traveling between North America and Tel Aviv (TLV) and between Hawaii and Tel Aviv.

Thanks, going through them now. Guess I'll stay with Continental, since I fly out of EWR anyway. I was thinking maybe NW WP would have a better package, but it sounds like that one is worse off than CO OP is.
