If anyone wants to prove me wrong, please go ahead.
You may be right, and I have no hard evidence to prove you wrong, but it does stand to reason that if you have collected the miles ( but not necessarily posted) they will give the early status. Remember the terms say "When you qualify for 2012 Air Canada Elite or Super Elite status before October 15, 2011, you will be awarded this status immediately"
And to me that means if you have flown the flights then you qualify. Period.
I think the extra lenience is to pick up 99% of the cases that have flown earlier than Oct 15th and because of the lenience people that have flown after the 15th but before the cutoff get in.
Of course it also says I will get personalized luggage tags, and I guess I do have that but I had to personalize them myself.
