Friday AM -- Able to make *E benefit selections for 2011 -- made selections and received confirmation email
Saturday evening -- Benefit selections posted (ie 2K points + 1K points) in AP account and eupgrades posted to AirCanada (10 as *E selection + 10 for 20,000 threshold (retroactive) + additional 10 for crossing 40k threshold after the 2K+1K posted)
Sunday Morning -- received retroactive credit representing 50% bonus *E benefit selection (non status miles) totaling 13,209 points. Bonus applied ONLY to AC metal planes -- no bonus provided for *A metal.
Still waiting for actual physical *E paperwork in mail.
Just noticed that AP site has been updated:
"Your personalized privilege package has been mailed on: Friday September 23, 2011"
I also happened to fly to LGA yesterday and was provided with full access to the MLL in YYZ and the Continental lounge at LGA even though I don't have the new AP card. Boarding pass showing the "*E" was enough to get in -- although, they also asked me to verbally tell them my AP number.
**UPDATED**
Received paperwork on Wed Sept 28th with luggage tags and *E card. Seems like it all came from Montreal.
