Gadling Gift Guide: Continental Gift Certificates

Adrienne already mentioned that you can gift American Airlines Frequent Flyer Miles for that special someone this holiday season. Here's another flight rewards program, this time from Continental, who claims to have the very first online personal gift registry account. (Actually, Adrienne mentioned this one too, but it is worth repeating now that the holidays are here.) The registry is for OnePass members, who can then notify friends and family that they are signed up and waiting for gifts :)

A continental.com gift certificate is slightly different, as it allows anyone to purchase or receive money towards air travel to anywhere Continental Airlines flies. The recipient will have the freedom to choose their dates of travel and class of service in addition to their itinerary. That means 200+ destinations in over 40 countries to choose from! And you don't have to be a Continental OnePass member to purchase or redeem. Certificates are available in the amount of your choice between $25 and $10,000. Best thing about these certificates is that they can be used towards the purchase of all types of air travel, including promotional fares and continental.com specials.
