Pros: Good sign-up bonus. "Prestige pack" offered by Continental.
Cons: High interest rate and $ 45 fee,as is the case with ALL airline cards.
The Bottom Line: If you know that Continental flies where you want to go, and if you have the discipline to pay your bill in full, this may be a good choice.

| iref123's Full Review: Continental Air OnePass (Chase Manhattan) |
I have had this card for 8 months now. They give you 3,000 OnePass miles a a bonus, and then also the option of buying the "Prestigepack" from Continental for $ 99.99, which includes 7,500 miles, a discount certificate, a certificate for a $ 99 Companion ticket, all kinds of car rental upgrades, etc.
You can track what's going on with your card and your miles on chase.com and on Continental's site. The miles usually post in a week after your statement closes. So far they haven't missed a beat.
The $45 annual fee is actually less than what US Airways or United charge. As a Mastercard, this card is accepted pretty much everywhere.
Those who complain about high fees and annual charges should realize that cards like this are NOT for someone who carries a balance. These cards MUST be treated like cash, and paid in full, otherwise your interest charges exceed the value of rewards. You do not buy a Ferrari to pull a heavy trailer, and you do not race your Ford Excursion!
