Thanks for your advice!

Reading Aeroplan requirements for their version of *G, it seems that I'll need to make 5 trips or 10k exclusively on AC or AC-affiliate metal to qualify within a fairly low 35k ceiling for *G. Do I understand it right?

One new thing that came up today is that I might be running a bi- or tri-weekly PWM/BOS-SFO commute starting September and lasting about nine months. (for the total of 15-18 roundtrips) I saw you mentioning that CO/UA earn 100% mileage regardless of travel class (these trips would probably often be in (D)DE, rarer in Y). Would CO/UA make more sense then? Can I still use my existing MM FTL perks when earning for AC/CO/UA?
