I have a question for those of you that have had the account for a few months now. I was reading the Program Rules and Regulations on the Chase website and noticed this:

6. You will earn one (1) OnePass mile for every two (2) dollars in Qualifying Purchases made
using your Chase Continental Airlines Debit Card. Please allow 6 to 10 weeks for miles to post to
your OnePass account.

Is this correct? Does it really take anywhere from 6-10 weeks to get the miles made from purchases into your OnePass account or is it similar to the bonus miles where the miles are deposited much quicker?

Thanks!

I can't get to the bank branch again till Friday, but hasn't anyone else successfully argued for the right miles when the banker messed up?

I have already done both the 5 debit transactions and direct deposit, so holding my breath that this can be fixed.

Way too early to start the fighting for the miles. Look at the time frame for the other poster on this thread.

Exactly, way too early, I have done this 3 times, no problems, usually the first set of miles post about 30 days, then rest in 60 days

Purchase miles usually deposit around same time as first set of bonus miles. About a month after account opening.

She made a call to their dept that handles these promotions and was able to get it resolved. I got the confirmation pages showing the miles to be deposited. While setting up the accounts, her system showed I was preapproved for a Chase Continental credit card with 25K bonus. I said sure and it was instantly approved. Took about an hour, but I left with $75K Onepass miles (OK – once I make the actual purchases).

My thought is that since this offer was setup in July (says offer valid July 1 - Dec. 31, 2009), that California branches were originally excluded because their systems had not yet been integrated. Maybe now that the integration is complete, the bank forgot to remove the exclusion from the wording.

I also just opened my account today at a local branch here in San Francisco. It was for personal checking account and continental debit card. He was able to do it and even showed me the screen where it says 10,000 miles bonus for opening an account along with 5 debit card purchase by 1/24/10 (60 days) and 15,000 miles bonus for first purchase on Continental debit card.

I also got the confirmation page with the tracking number in case my account does not get credited with the miles.

I used the certificate with the same wording (excluding California). I was assured it was not an issue now the formerly WAMU-branded branch is integrated into Chase.

hi, thanks for the reply. I wasn't worried about the time frame, I am really not impatient. My problem was that I didn't receive two tracking numbers and everyone who seems to have had problems mentions only getting one. In all honesty the guy who helped me didn't even seem to read the paper, and then I only received the paper for the 10,000 not the two that others reported, I was convinced it would be a fight.

To update, my fears were premature, I did get both postings, one for 10,000 and the second for 12,500 on 11/25 , so there is hope for others who didn't get both tracking numbers

I went on Saturday to open a new account and close and transfer the funds from the account I opened last year. The coupon stated that I needed to open the preferred debit card, so I did... Hopefully, I will get ALL of the miles this year. Too bad I did it too late to qualify for Mileathon activity.

For the personal card, you don't need the preferred card. Just need the normal card (with annual fee of $25 as stated in the fine print.)

You are cutting a little close to get ALL of the miles this year. I opened my account on 11/4, and I am still waiting for some of the bonus miles to be posted. As the fine print indicated, it may take up to 6-10 weeks for the miles to post after all requirements are satisfied.

Anyone get Mileathon credit for their account? I opened in August and still haven't gotten, so I am trying to figure out if it's normal or a problem with my credits in particular. Thanks.

Can anyone confirm that a onepass account can be opened by phone? Or do you know of a branch that will do it by phone? Thanks

I opened up my accounts in November, but none of them earned Mileathon points and they are not even showing up as an activity in my Mileathon progress.

I got mine, but did you register for the promotion before signing up for this?

Is anyone churning these? I didn't see anything in the main post? How long do you have to keep it open when you open an account? How long before you can do this again? Basically the offer is $21k miles for $65, is it not?
