I also have 82k EDQ.
If I earn 100k EDQ, I would qualify for 25k and therefore SQM rollover - is that right? (or does anybody know whether rollover doesn't apply for 25k-earned-through-EDQ)
Not sure which card you have but the AP Reserve doesn't roll over based on granted status, here's the T&C from the card:
"
Basic Cardmembers who also hold Aeroplan Elite Status will be able to roll over up to a maximum of 200,000 Status Qualifying Miles (SQM) from the prior qualification year to the next qualification year.This benefit applies when the member qualified for Aeroplan EliteTM Status by earning the required SQM or Status Qualifying Segments (SQS), as well as the required Status Qualifying Dollars (SQD), in the prior qualification year. If the member has been granted complimentary status, as determined by Air Canada, that is higher than the status they would have earned via their Status Qualifying balances, the rollover amount will be based on the status they would have earned otherwise (if any), and not the granted status. SQM rolled over from the previous qualifying year will apply towards status qualification for the following qualifying year."
Normally I don't think it's worth spending money just for status, but if you're going to fly a lot more AC next year AND you're rolling over 120-140k SQM I'd say it's probably worth it to spend the SQD for 25k this year
