March 3rd has now been announced as the day on which The Continental OnePass program in effect will become the new United MileagePlus Program and all those United Mileage Plus program who do not already have a linked OnePass account, will get new account numbers as they are moved over to the MileagePlus program. Also from that day the actual 2012 status will become effective for all.
What is now the Continental web site will in effect be rebranded as United and become the new United web site and the pre-merger United web site will cease to exist. Also on that day all flights coded as CO flights will become UA flights and CO/Continental as a brand will go away.
Those that have either United or Continental or both accounts can go to https://secure.unitedmileageplus.com/MergerSites/index.jsp and get a personalized preview of what status and lifetime mileage credits they will get. It would be a good idea for people like Shanghai to check what lifetime mileage is credited to their account in the recalculation using EQMs as opposed to BIS miles in the United account. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that that they credited a whole bunch of Singapore Airlines miles to my lifetime miles on the United site. Got me over 131,000 additional lifetime miles, which gets me to within a few year of getting to 2 million miles, and lifetime Platinum status.
Still no news on what the relationship between United MileagePlus and AGR will look like. UA is discontinuing the relationship with Virgin Atlantic's frequent flyer program effective March.
