UPDATE: Continental is now a part of United.Continental runs a recurring promotion, Mileathon, which is similar to US Airways’ Grand Slam, but not nearly as lucrative. Bascially, you earn more miles for more activities that you complete. See below for the reward chart and qualifying activity. The earning period starts Feb 1 and goes thru April 30, 2011. I’ll offer some more analysis after I get a chance to research it a little bit, but you might as well register now.Milestones/Rewards:5 500 bonus miles10 1,000 bonus miles20 2,500 bonus miles30 5,000 bonus miles45 10,000 bonus miles65 15,000 bonus miles85 25,000 bonus miles105 35,000 bonus miles125 50,000 bonus miles150 75,000 bonus miles or a $750 Miles for Merchandise gift card175 100,000 bonus miles or a $1,000 Miles for Merchandise gift cardActivities:Purchase a full-fare BusinessFirst® round-trip ticket.
