Continental Mileathon 2011
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.
