A co-worker got an email from AC just now, offering him $399 CAD (not sure about Tax) to "Step up" to P25K for 2017.
He is at 23 AQS, ~10K AQM, and ~$2.6K AQD
SO, it look like AC is just asking for missing AQD in this case.
I just go an offer to step up to P25K for $499 CAD. I'm currently at 21753 AQM and 2941.21 AQD. Not sure how they're deciding on the amount ($399 vs $499).
I had E50K (and the old elite) for the past 8 years. The current year's my first without any status.
