I've now been a member of Continentals onepass scheme for around 4 years.
Firstly, earning miles: This used to be limited in the UK, unless you flew with continental over the the states or elsewhere. However, they now use Northwest, Air France, and KLM. As both Air France and KLM have Hubs in Europe, you can fly to almost anywhere in the world now, and earn miles. The miles are credited relativly quickly, and is now very easy to check online.
Redeeming miles: It is now possible to redeem flights online at continentals web site, which has made things very easy. whilst heavily US orientated, it's still okay for UK users.
How easy is it to earn miles? With work, I recently flew Business class to Kuala Lumpur with KLM, and a return flight earnt me 38,000 points. I only need 40,000 points for an off peak return to north america!
I can also transfer my amex points to this scheme as well.
It's a good scheme, and easy to earn points. I would recommend it, especially if you travel to the US a lot.
Oh, you also earn big bonuses if you get to the next tier of the scheme, getting 25%, 50% and 100% bonuses!
So, what do you need for a flight? Well, lets take a return trip to NY.
Flying normally, with no bonuses, you'd earn around 7,000 points. Now, off peak, you'll need 40,000 for a return trip to North america. Sounds a lot. Not quite.... By your ticket on amex, and receive around 500 points. Stay in a hilton, and again, earn valuable points, plus 500 points for mentioning your onepass details. Soon adds up.
Current airlines include: KLM Air France Northwest Continental Quantas

But don't you need to either have the right job to earn business flights, I can't see my company sending me off onto an aeroplane, more like a boat.
Also you seem to need a good wage in general, I wouldn't earn enough to get an Amex card even.

As you will have noticed I have improved the rating because there is noticable improvement. Any future opinions that you write though should be very in depth. I have also left a message for you in your guest book.

It's great the way you can add to airmiles schemes through affiliates like Amex and Hilton Honours!
