There's definitely no one I know at AC. The only guess I'd have is it relating to prior travels.
I didn't have any paid premium transoceanic travel in 2014, just a whole lot of Tango short hops. I haven't paid for AC J TATL since 2011, but AC would have knowledge of paid TATL & TPAC J in 2013.
While I might not be a super frequent premium flyer, there is at least some reason to incent me to bring incremental business to them. That said, these promotions don't do much since any benefit I get from them is pure accident. The roll-out of PE in AC's fleet though certainly is going to get me flying more so including PE in this kind of promo is nice if/when I happen to be eligible.
