Let's not be so quick to call in the EU Cavalry, Jim. Continental needs to investigate just what happened first. My questions to the OP are still unanswered and I asked them for a reason. When one uses CO's website to check in they are sometimes offered alternate flights for no change fee. This often occurs when flights are overbooked. If the OP made a mistake during online check in and was put on the later flight at that point then CO doesn't owe him any compensation.
We'll see what happens when CO reports back to the OP.
