So the 25K Continental OnePass Miles for opening a checking account (personal and/or checking) and using your associated Chase debit card has been extended until 9/30.

This is a quick and easy way to earn 25K for a personal checking account (open with $100, get debit card -$25 annual fee - make 5 debit purchases & 1 credit purchase with card - voila 25K continental miles) & business checking account (say you are running a consulting business - self proprietorship, they only need your SSN - deposit $500, get debit card ($65 annual fee I believe) and make 5 credit purchases - voila another 25K. Always verify what you need to do to get the miles from the bank employee (they should give you a print out of what exactly you will need to do in order to receive the bonus miles).
Since Continental OnePass program will be dead within the enxt 24 months I highly suggest earning as many Continental miles as you can right now. Apply for a Continental Chase Credit card for good measure - I did and thus, with2 checking accounts and 1 credit card sign-up bonus I got 75K Continental miles within 5 weeks.
Those miles will fold into my United account soon and will allow me many more travel options in the future.
As the late-night commericials say - Don't DELAY! :)
