It never ceases to amaze me - the banks are just throwing miles at us!
Continental - soon to be United - is offering a sweet increase in their credit card sign-up bonus. The original bonus was 30K but now they upped the offer to 50K after first use - no annual fee for the first year. SWEET!!!
I HIGHLY suggest you get this card. But if possible, wait for February first! If you are an avid reader of this blog you know you have to register for the Continental MileAthon first. So, if you arent' a ONEPass member - sign up on Feb. 1st, then sign up for the MileAthon, then apply for the CARD. That way, you will maximize your bonus points from the MileAThon. Applying for a Continental Card normally gets you about 30 to 40 pts which is another 5000 miles at least...
This is a great opportunity. Don't let it pass by. 50K Continental miles will transform soon into United Miles. 50K miles will get you to lots of places!!
Your credit is obviously important so proceed with caution. Only use the card to get the bonus, don't necessarily use it for your everyday purchases. Make sure you don't carry balances! There's no limit on how many cards you can own. Having 20 cards doesn't hurt your credit score - carrying a balance will.
