If that's still a problem, it might be worth noting as a caveat in this thread.
Yes, good point. I'll add something to clarify.

You may have a point. I'm not sure there's as much confusion since the new program launched and AC killed Altitude, but if you have a thought on what could be useful, please post it and I can update the OP.
I decided not to put this in a wiki since a lot of people in the forum organization thread said they don't like wikis, so we're trying to mix in some threads like this where the information is in the OP or first couple posts, but I have no pride of ownership on this thread and will happily take input from the community
Finally, in this sentence did you mean to use both “miles” and “points?” “Flights on most of these partners only earn Aeroplan miles (i.e. no SQx), and some only earn Aeroplan points on certain routes (e.g. Cathay Pacific).”
Yes, I did, because I hate repeating the same thing over and over again. Do you think that might be confusing to people who are less familiar with the program?
