Status Match to AC Altitude Status
Air Canada just matched my status to Gold. I am wondering if the match is for this year only or all the way through 2015. I am seeing my status online when logging in. But I could not find a place to check until what date my status is valid. Can it somehow be checked online? New to Air Canada.

Why not call AC? Doubt anyone here but one of the AC reps can answer this definitively. Did you not receive a confirming email containing this information? Normally status matches from some airlines given after mid-year extend into the next benefit year (2015/6) but not sure AC does this.

After the recently announced changes to Altitude i can't help but think of the old lethal weapon movie scene where Danny Glover goes into the South African consulate looking for a visa.

Just curious, what program did you get matched?

This thread is meant to be ironic, right?

I got matched from BA recently, had the same issue where the email doesn't specify what the expiry is.

Your physical card will be for Feb 2015. AC will not start issuing next year's cards until December 2014. Only calling AC will be able to tell you if the status is matched for the remainder of this year, or will be valid for the next.

OP - can you explain the entire status match process you went thru? As I always thought AC doesn't allow status match, especially with the *A. Thanks.

Check out the steps someone used here:

If you were US, AC even had a page up for people to stick with *A: http://www.aircanada.com/en/aeroplan...tus_match.html
