If you are looking at AC only from YYZ then it might be tough to get a deal. Suggest you open up to other Star Alliance options and widen your search parameters to possibly include a US city as your starting point (NYC, BOS, ORD, etc..). Sometimes you will get a deal with AC being the primary carrier from those points. If you would prefer to start in YYZ, then here is an example (I am doing this in 3 weeks) :

AC segments to and from IAH should qualify for this promotion and you will still get 150% SQM on the United legs to Lima and back.
Try playing around with Google flights with dates that you have available.
