Which is correct? I'll need elite status for YQ to be dropped or I if I travel on a NA itinerary YQ will be dropped? If the later, I'll wait until March to book something.
As for transferring miles, I'd only get 12.6K, I don't need those miles so I'd rather not bother with the hassle of transferring.
I will study the *A flight map over the weekend and see which destinations *A can get me to in Asia and Europe that OW can't. I'm an avid traveller, and wouldn't mind purchasing some miles if I can visit a place/country I haven't been to.

So to clarify, an Altitude member is someone with P25K status or higher.
So yes, you need status to have YQ waived for NA itineraries.

Use them for a hotel
Some of the Sheraton Four Points are 3K a night, that would give you 5 nights. Many, of course, are more. Points are also good for a Best Western and a good option for a small town getaway in summer. Since I left SE status, I find using the points for travel a total pain (so many restrictions) and tend to use them for hotels. It's worked very well and you can do it on line quite easily on the aeroplan site.
