Silver/Gold/Platinum elite phone numbers

[dbaker]

Moo.

Each elite level has a different priority phone number for Continental.

For anyone that's upgraded their elite level within a year, you can pretty quickly figure out the pattern and have all three elite numbers.

That said, is there really any benefit to each different number? I've called the Silver, Gold, and Platinum one and the message is all identical.

I'm not sure if there are actually four different priority levels for calls routed to a rep (ie. platinum, gold, silver, and regular) or if just Continental has long-term plans and this is the first logistical hurtle.

Either way, if anyone knows this answer to this, I'd like to hear it. The Silver Elite line is really easy to remember, so I'd prefer to use that one if it didn't matter. [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Cheers.

I'd like to be able to simply attempt to find out if the waits are different with the elite lines.

I recently qualified for Platinum, but am still using the Silver elite number. I have yet to even receive my Gold elite kit, much less my Plat kit.

I suppose I could call the Silver number and ask for the Gold and Platinum numbers, but it wasn't until I read your message that I was even sure there were different numbers...

So is the pattern of numbers for gold and platinum easy to figure out if one only knows the silver number?

Yeah, Onepass seems really hit-and-miss. It took me a month or two to get my silver kit, but I received my gold kit in less than a week.

Nope. I wouldn't have posted if I thought it'd give away the "secret" numbers. Once you're gold, though, I figure the platinum number can't be that big of a deal and I'm sure that countless other people have noticed the pattern, too.

I'm not even sure that the Elite lines have shorter hold times, frankly. There's nothing more Elite than pressing [1] for domestic reservations/upgrades and getting a busy signal. [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Either way, it's neat when they answer the phone, "Continental Elite Line, how can I help you, Mr. Baker?"

Are you entering the zip code that your Onepass statements come to?

When it asks you to enter onepass and your zipcode it is just a thing they do when there is a long wait. You can press all ones and it will still let you through.
