NA Double Miles List: [every round trip or 2 one way segments]
between...

If one connects in YYZ to get from an eligible destination to an ineligible destination, does the promo apply?
ie I fly YXU-YYZ-BOS RT, do I earn on the YYZ-BOS segments (2 one way segments), or is this a RT YXU-BOS (RT between ineligible cities) and I get nothing?

My understanding is that AC/AP is reminding us that we can earn up to 150% miles when be book an Exec. Class/Exec. First fare. Nothing to get excited about.

Its my understanding that youd get the double miles for the YYZ-BOS roundtrip, which would make sense as the T&C specifically mention "rwo segments".

It should apply if you are connecting through a Canadian gateway airport.

Yet another sale/offer that has nothing for YYC, and next to nothing for the west coast in general

This pattern is getting kind of old for YYC and YEG isn't it?

Unfortunate that my many trips to the Caribbean and Western Canada from YYZ are ineligible!

The AC site has been corrected (though still a few typos) and now corresponds with the AE site.

Points promos for Caribbean destinations? in the winter? "Not likely!" as he types from ANU.

Asia and Europe are to/from Canadian gateway cities so that includes YVR and YYC. And flights between the three major western cities qualify in either direction, so what's your beef?

Just a few days before the promo started I booked a roundtrip to ZRH, but the return trip is through MUC with YWG-YYZ-ZRH-MUC-YYZ-YWG routing. I am braced for disappointment ...

As am I. I'm flying YVR-BRU during the promotion, but fly on LH metal via FRA outbound; AC via YUL inbound. Oh well.
