OnePass Hands Out Tickets Without Touching Anyone's Miles

Best Promotion — Airlines, Americas · Continental OnePass — winter and spring segment promotions

Best Overall Promotion for an airline program goes to Continental OnePass.

The winning idea: fly a certain number of segments more than you flew the year before, and earn a free ticket with no mileage deduction at all.

No deduction is the part members loved. Most promotions give you miles and then quietly take them back at redemption. This one handed over the ticket and left the account balance where it was.

American finished a close second with off-peak promotions from selected airports to selected destinations.
