Got some weird mail from AC today with some "special edition" enRoute. Wondering if anyone else got anything similar

Yeah, I got it a few days ago. I haven't had enough time at home to even read it, but when I saw a package from AC, I thought "...?" and ripped it open, only to be wildly underwhelmed

I remember a couple years back I got one with the vintage planes and cabins which I thought was pretty cool.

Same reaction here. I don't golf, so could just care less about being a marketing send out target.

Got the crap too. Totally useless.

Golf is very bad for your joints: impact is destructive. If you want to make sure you'll get a bad case of arthritis when getting old, please enjoy your golf.

I didn't even open it and it's long gone in the garbage bin. It would be better if AC asked if we wished to have one so they don't waste $ just sending them out.

Funny, I'm an avid golfer and I didn't get one

Must be targeted to the SE's.

Yeah, looks like it was only SE's - spouse is SE and got it, I'm E50 and didn't. Went straight into the recycling.

I got it, I'm a golfer (your right tho) and I thought it was nice...

But was underwhelmed. I thought it was going to be something cool..

I received mine last week - waste of paper and money IMO, I didn't even bother to open it, just dumped it in the recycle bin.

Clearly the AC marketing has very little clue about what some of their frequent fliers interests are - but then there is no mechanism for us to let AC know what we like as well. It's an all or nothing type of marketing - very 1990's
