Currently Continental Airlines operates under United Airlines. United Airline has its own co-branded credit cards issued by Chase, and one of them is The New United Explorer Card. You can consider applying for this card or for other United cards if you need more travel perks.

However, if you are not going to fly with United most of the time, we would recommend you to apply for a regular credit card with miles rewards. Such a card will allow you easily switch airlines and redeem miles with literary any airline. Also, if for some reason you do not travel, you can use miles rewards credit card to earn miles on your everyday purchases. The miles rewards per dollar spent are fixed for all shopping categories.
