In the event that Aeroplan® Fixed Mileage Flight RewardsTM seats are completely booked, Priority Rewards offer eligible Altitude members access to additional seats on flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express and Air Canada rouge. As announced in October 2014, Priority Rewards will be limited to a total of ten (10) reservations per eligible Altitude member, per year. The Priority Rewards tracker will be in place in the coming weeks.
How it will work
The number of Priority Rewards available to you will be reset every time your Altitude status changes. For instance, if you are an Elite 50K member in 2016 and have completed 5 Priority Rewards, and you then reach Elite 75K through Early Recognition, the number of Priority Rewards available to you will be reset to ten (10), once your status is updated. Alternatively, if your Altitude status does not change throughout the year, your counter will not change either – it will be reset during our annual requalification activities beginning in December 2016, and when your status is updated for the 2017 benefit period.
Keep track of the Priority Rewards available to you by visiting your Dashboard at altitude.aircanada.com. You will also see this information when completing a booking using your Aeroplan miles through aeroplan.com.
So it sounds like in December, presumably when you choose your select privileges.
