Now that I'm overseas (After 8 great years of AC travel and 1/2 to 1MM), it's interesting that I could make 50k (and thus *G) just by
  1. Spending $125k on a AC premium card (for 25k SQC)
  2. Earning 125k Aeroplan points with partners/shopping (I assume this includes flights on *A partners)
I suppose it means UA/SQ flying caps out at 25k SQC - so you really have to earn 50k through AC flying. Or credit cards like the HSBC *A Credit Card (in Australia)
