Gone

Couldn't hit DEL fast enough...I was worried it was carrying a trojan that would break into my Altitude account and make all those miles and eup credits I earned useless...oh wait...it's too late...

Tried signing up. You can't choose your own username!! Only a few preselected options that are variations of my real name. No thanks.

I await others' impressions ...

Same issue - crappy website design again I guess. Finally connected in a different browser. Stupid thing though doesn't have SSO through the Altitude site so you have to sign in again

Nothing of much interest there so I doubt I will do anything with it - prefer FT by a long chalk

One more thought.

Kind of incredible that AC management thinks this is a better use of money than the FF program.

Taking bets: What day does it shut down?

Mine: Feb. 16, 2016. It will have money for one budget run, but the metrics will show it to be mostly a fail.

I wish they had invested the money back into the Altitude program, rather than on a non-functional / restricted website.

I think this way they can trace which person makes criticisms of the program, and they can also squelch / censor anything negative said.

I should get the Bars badge just for the crap they put me through in moving to a new FF program.

Interesting restriction on bonus Aeroplan miles...

Quote:

Bonus Aeroplan Miles are not Air Canada Altitude Qualifying Miles and do not count towards Air Canada Altitude Status. As an Altitude Community member, you can earn a maximum of 1,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles in the Altitude Community every calendar year. However, if you earn the Early Adopters badge, you will earn an additional 1,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles.
