I've just transferred my delta platinum status over to continental and am expecting to fly them to Asia a few times this year. I was going to sign up for their visa but was wondering if there's anything I should know.
Also any specials if you sign up or is it just the standard 20k miles at sign up, then 5k after 1st purchase

Continental Chase Visa doesn't offer any sign up bonus miles. Here's a link to the Continental Chase MC for up to 40k miles bonus:

link takes me to an error page. is their a promo code or somewhere else i can find this?
Anyone had luck getting the 40K CO Chase card? My mom is in the market for a new mileage card, and this one would be nice!
I'm a little sad about this offer myself, since when I got the CO World MC from Chase the bonus was only 15K miles...

I think the 40k he mentioned is if you add a second card holder. This is often the case.
I ended up getting the world MC for business because in addition to the 2 for 1 miles the personal card offers, the business card you also get 2 miles per $1 on "purchases charged on dining, gas and office supplies". For the personal it only specifies 2 for 1 with the select business partners. You don't need to be a business owner, just apply the same as you would for a personal card, it'll ask for a business name and you can put whatever you want in there. The supposed purpose is that you'll have 2 seperate bills to more easily seperate your expenses.
In the end I got 20k miles for signing up, 5k after 1st purchase, 10K at my 1 year anniversary as a card holder. It adds up to 40 only if I add someone else to my account (5k bonus for that). Alot of cards have that "add a card holder bonus" so they can advertise the larger possible bonus miles, but how many people actually do that?

I actually do. I put wife and/or kids on there. There is no ding on their credit report. Of course, I don't let them USE the damn things.Originally Posted by nerdkiller

I don't think it does. I needed the card regardless, but I didn't see it in the terms.
