Overall I think this still works for me but YYC makes it more difficult. I think the unlimited flight pass bonus is where I can earn the most SQCs (10000 SQC/month if they keep to their guidance that flight pass bonus SQM becomes SQC). I used to have one unlimited flight pass for Alberta and then one 10 credit East-West and one each for SW sun and for South America. Don't do Alberta pass any more given poor schedules but might think about it again.

Maximum of 25000 SQC for non 014 Star Partner flights at 5 Aeroplan points = 1 SQC but that seems a tough way to do it (rather do flight passes).

The only question is about working on 3MM or diversifying my flying experiences with other Star carriers more.
