I'm pretty sure that person has already showed their hand and its not worth offering any more. They're already committed. Hook, line and sinker.
I was referring to my experiences and did not have anywhere near $15k in upcoming airfare for the reason you suggested. I think you confused me with cow. Sure we may be black and white but we really are not the same animal

LOL. Almost 7 months later... a response.

Congratulations, you are now eligible to reach a higher Altitude status with an Altitude Challenge. As of August 28st, 2015, if you earn 18,500 Altitude Qualifying Miles (AQM) or 18 Altitude Qualifying Segments (AQS) on flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express or Air Canada rouge over the next 90 days, you’ll be eligible to enjoy Altitude Elite 50K status through February 28, 2017. Your current Altitude status (if any) will not change at the beginning of the 90 day challenge period. Once you earn the required number of AQM or AQS, your status will be updated within four weeks, and you will be invited to choose your Select Privileges. Your Altitude package will follow within four to six weeks.
Best regards,
The Air Canada Altitude Team


My request was sent on February 3rd.

Sadly, I'm going to have to pass on this oh-so-generous offer.

Sent my request on August 11, received the challenge email today (October 8) for a challenge starting today. I guess it's marginally better than waiting 6 months.

Did you fly AC on the flights you have flown on since Aug.? If so, write them regarding the pasted flights and they should counts them. If somehow you can refuse the offer, will you still have status with the other airline to match?

Anyone has any experience in status matching to Super Elite 100k? I have multiyear 1K status.

Given the new AQD requirements, I would expect a challenge, at best. And even that might only take you up to E75K or E50K.

AC is not generally in the habit of handing things out for free.

Will they even do that considering it's UA?

Oh, ha, I hadn't even considered that.

It's possible, but that's yet another hurdle.
