Sorry to hijack this thread but I think it's a related question (to which I didn't get answer). I just completed some discounted bus class flights on Varig (C class, I think) and I only got 100%, not 125% status miles. There's nothing on the website to suggest that discounted business only gets 100% on Varig. Is it worth writing to the Aeroplan Centre to ask for the additional status miles? It will make the difference between qualifying early for Elite and not getting Elite status until next March.
