I've written to both UA and AE, but I'm not taking chances - I took the 1500 AQM threshold gift, even though I'll hit SE by Jan. 1/14.
Otherwise, I'd have taken the 5000 regular Aeroplan miles.
For 90K, I'll pick the 15K or Amazon certificate.
Oh wow you just made me realize something.
I was a little worried about hitting 75k before the early recognition deadline, so I was going to do something like SFO-YVR-YUL-YYZ and YYZ-YVR-SFO for Thanksgiving. If I take the 1500 bonus AQM, then I can do SFO-YVR-YYZ and YYZ-SFO instead. That might be worth doing. Thanks
