Empress, I saw you noted you do not have an Aeroplan account (or had one before), well, all members who either responded to Aeroplan that they would like an Aeroplan account, or members who did not reply at all, have been sent Aeroplan account cards just this week. As for "status" members, they have not specified anything yet. Have only received calls from people who started receiving their new membership numbers the past 2 days. Hopefully you will be receiving yours in the next couple days. I will check tomorrow if we can get any further information, as we would not want you to be unable to use your new card for travel Jan 01.
