Congrats on the milestone! And I had always assumed that "87" was your birth year... if that's actually the case, then cheers to an even more remarkable achievement

Congrats especially with that tarmac to tarmac lifestyle that you start and end each trip with.
I am still a couple of years behind. My mom and brother always bugged me to join but I said "I don't fly enough" (HAH!) so didn't for quite a few years. My mom and my brother were enjoying free trips, hotels, rental cars and I was just slogging through airports with no distinction. What a difference a few decades makes (still slogging through airports and near extinction!)

Not sure what prompted me to join AE but was not mom or brother(s). Many meetings at Toronto and many YSB/YYZ r/ts ,weekly.
Was off a flight(s) from BGI/YYZ/YSB on February 15th at 12:10am . Car was under 30cm of snow and ice and the back left tire was low on air, Took half an hour to get that "stuff" off, windchill was -30C. Dropped Mrs.acysb87 off at home and was back at YSB for 5am for a YSB/YYZ/PHX flight. Flight went mechanical at YSB (hydraulic issues) and arrived YYZ at 1130 (missed PHX cnx) and stayed at YYZ airport hotel until 20:55 departure on ACr to PHX that got me to hotel PHX at 23:50 local time. I felt that I was near extinction that night/day/night.

Received a note from Aeroplan yesterday that notes the following;
"You've been an Aeroplan® Member for 30 years now, and we're excited to celebrate this momentous occasion with you. We hope the miles you've earned since joining the program have been transformed into truly memorable travels and rewarding experiences.
Let's take a look at just how far you've come in 30 years: "
Accumulated over 6 million AE miles and redeemed for 118 flights. No merchandise or hotels.
I found it interesting

I joined in 1985 and I did not receive any email to thank me for being an Aeroplan member for 30 years in 2015.

Excellent! Too many people, if I may haughtily declare, use their miles to do quick turns and never see their destinations beyond what's outside their airplane or terminal window. Isn't the entire point of traveling to actually travel? Enjoy your trips, and congrats on your 30 years. I just hit my 20th with Aeroplan (no email), and was a reluctant joiner after being a Canadi>n customer for many years.

Congratulations!
I've received the 25 years congratulations last week, April 12, to the day exactly 25 years after I first enrolled.
Never thought I'd flown that much, and converted that many miles, but I guess, with all the years gone by... lol
4 Million miles accumulation
3,2 Million miles redeemed (124 flights, 0 hotels, 3 retail thingies)

places visited or those on the bucket list.
Mine is still hanging above my desk, my top 10 destinations were:
YUL, SIN, ICN, BKK, TPE, CGK, YVR, HKG, NRT, PVG.
Actually. looking at it again - it was for 25 years status, not 25 years membership.

For 25th, I and a few others received a world map with our top 10 destinations printed on, along with red and white pins to stick in to mark
places visited or those on the bucket list.

OP must have been very nice to AC over the years.
My MM account identifies June 5, 1986 as my start date, and NO letter yet - maybe sign I should stop sending in complaint letters when service sucks.
