Hoping for some clarity on a couple things...

1) Looking at the Threshold eUpgrade site here:
https://altitude.aircanada.com/statu...hold-eupgrades

If starting at E50K and reaching 80,000 and 100,000 miles AFTER the early recognition cutoff date (15 Oct 2015), do you still acquire the threshold eUpgrade credits listed in the 80,000 and 100,000 mile columns even though you may not technically achieve E75K or SE100K before year end.

This thread seems to give a "yes" answer if progressing through the levels BEFORE the early recognition date, but I don't see a definitive answer when hitting these thresholds AFTER the early recognition date. Maybe the OP (or others) can confirm?

2) Looking at the Threshold gift site here:
https://altitude.aircanada.com/status/threshold-gifts

This question seemed to have an affirmative answer in other threads, but I'd appreciate confirmation here. The threshold gift section for 90,000 AQM / 90 AQS states "Threshold Gifts at this level are available to Altitude Elite 75K members." Would an E50K member who does not achieve early recognition still be eligible for for the 90,000 AQM threshold gift?

Thanks for your help!
