Last week I passed the first threshold and am currently E50K. It's my first time reaching any threshold. Yesterday, all flights were posted to Altitude and this morning, I received an email from Air Canada inviting me to choose my threshold gift, which was 5000 Aeroplan points. I went into my eUpgrade account to see if the eUpgrade credits were posted and unfortunately they're not.

Is it common for the threshold gift and threshold eUpgrades to come at different times? Or is there somehow a deadline by which to cross the threshold in order to get those credits?
