Temporarily closed pending review and clean-up.
This thread has been re-opened to allow for
some
general discussion of the 2026 program changes.
But people often comment that they would like fewer mega-threads on the forum.
Please bear in mind that just because the program has changed, this thread isn't the place for
everything
.
A number of key threads are listed below; several dozen posts have been moved from here to the relevant threads:
If your 2026 flights are missing or have posted incorrectly:
Missing / incorrect flight activity (SQC / Aeroplan points, 2026+)
Earning SQC from credit card purchases:
Earning SQC from spending on Aeroplan credit cards, incl. Status Qualification Boost
Milestone Benefit selection strategy
2026 Mileage Runs, including "does SQC make mileage runs obsolete?"
General questions about qualifying for status:
Qualifying for Aeroplan Elite Status - 2026 Onwards
Earning SQC and Aeroplan points from flying (2026 onwards)
