short-haul award pricing:

The distance-based pricing within each award chart will no doubt benefit some people. However, the 500 mile cut-off excludes various "routes on the margin" such as YEG-YVR (506 miles) and YUL-YHZ (501 miles).

Could AC therefore please consider:

1) slightly increasing the limit for short-haul awards to 510 miles - similar to the distances used to calculate the e-upgrade requirements? or
2) increase the threshold for short-haul awards to ~650 miles in order to be competitive with the BA Avios program?
