However, calling in just now there was no recognition of elite status (after entering my AP number, I get stock canned messages that don't apply, e.g., about how much more it was going to cost me to make a change by phone than email), and the system is telling me I will have to wait on hold for more than an hour. Am I doing something wrong? I called the number listed in the app for Aeroplan "Super Elite priority contact".

thanks.
The "SE number" in the app for Aeroplan is 1-800-361-5373, which is the standard number.

It asks me for language, then it says "Scott, thank you for being a Super Elite member."

So it's very clearly using caller ID as one mechanism here. I did not have to enter mine.
