Advantage Rent A
Car has introduced a car rental program that
gives Continental Airlines OnePass members a
frequent-flyer mileage-earning opportunity on
the ground that will help keep costs down before
they next take to the air. Advantage is awarding
Continental OnePass members 10,000
frequent-flyer miles to select cities across
America on all qualifying rentals when they rent
from Advantage.
OnePass members
who rent a full-size car class or higher from
Advantage for three or more days to Los Angeles,
Denver or Orlando by Oct. 31, 2008, will earn up
to 10,000 miles. OnePass members can also earn
5,000 miles when they book a full-size car class
or higher for three or more days at any of
Advantage's other U.S. locations until Nov. 15,
2008 (including LA, Denver and Orlando after
Oct. 31).
OnePass members
who earn 5,000 miles can redeem their miles for
a one-way full economy fare upgrade within or
between the contiguous 48 states, Alaska and
Canada. Ten thousand miles can be redeemed for a
roundtrip full economy fare upgrade, or rent
from Advantage as little as two times to earn up
to a standard reward ticket, good for travel
between the contiguous 48 states, Alaska and
Canada. To book or for full terms and conditions
