'Take off for the border' promo

Did anyone else get the 'Take off for the Border' promo letter last week?

It reads in part ...

'... earn EXTRA Aeroplan Bonus Miles when you fly between Canada and the USA on designated routes. Simply travel with AC or AC Regional in J, C, Y, M, B, H or V booking class from September 1 to October 31 2001 and receive 2,500 Aeroplan Bonus Miles for every 2 non-stop segments you fly'

I'm assuming this is distinct from the Waves promotion mentioned in another thread.

If my calculations are correct, lets assume a simple YYZ to ORD return trip in M class ...

Base Miles = 1,000
Waves Promo (Double Miles) = 1,000
YYZ Waves Promo Bonus = 1,500
Take off for the border promo = 2,500

Total = 5,000 miles

Of course, only 1000 are Q miles but still not too shabby.

Anyone else get the promo I mentioned above and is my calculation correct? I'm assuming that these promo's are cumulative and not mutually exclusive.
