Understand they might want to reduce the cost for the free 5000 miles, but the ffact now it only reduced the requirement and only for you re-qualify with your current status level, it is not as flexible as it used to be.

Also would like to see an option to reduce the number of AQS as well. Especially since Tango fare now get AQS, but only 25%. So people like myself can't really benefit from the lower AQM requirement as I now qualify on AQS only.
I wonder if they stopped the free 5,000 AQM's because of the terms of the Aeroplan contract which we now seem to understand requires that AC not issue any AQM's without actually issuing an Aeroplan mile (thus - you could not actually give the 5,000 without first having to pay to Aeroplan).
