I just checked my account, been doing frequent flights between some of the listed places.

One round trip netted me:

Feb 13 2011 AIR CANADA STATUS MILES 2,254 . miles
Feb 13 2011 AIR CANADA STATUS MILES 500 . miles
Feb 13 2011 2010 SUPER ELITE FLIGHT BONUS. 2,254 . miles
Feb 13 2011 2010 SUPER ELITE FLIGHT BONUS. 500 . miles
Feb 13 2011 2010 SUPER ELITE FLIGHT BONUS. 2,254 . miles
Feb 13 2011 2010 SUPER ELITE FLIGHT BONUS. 500 . miles
Feb 13 2011 EXTRAVELGANZA-NORTH AMERICA. 4,508 . miles
Feb 13 2011 EXTRAVELGANZA-NORTH AMERICA. 1,000 . miles
Feb 10 2011 AIR CANADA STATUS MILES 2,254 . miles
Feb 10 2011 AIR CANADA STATUS MILES 500 . miles
Feb 10 2011 aIR CANADA PROMOTION 324 . miles

Total: 16848 miles

Add in the miles from using my amex plat card to buy the ticket, and it's more than enough for a short haul flight. Not bad! I'm liking this promo, especially considering I'll be taking this exact same trip repeatedly before it ends

Actually they did post on Sunday but not overnight rather sometime in the afternoon.

I've "successfully" registered for this promo three times. I've had qualifying activity on the books for the past two Sundays. No bonii.

How do I follow up on this?

That would have been a brilliant idea for my ZRH-MUC-YYZ return, but unfortunately AC879 is not scheduled for my Monday travel date. I guess there is no way to make "same day" a day earlier ... lol. Too bad, this is a nice promo.

i wonder should AC still grant me the double miles promotion for a flight that i missed? what happened was on Mar 6 (the morning after a snowfall), i was departing YOW and it took 3 hrs just to load up the plane with baggage, taxiing everywhere, get de-iced, and wait in line to take off. as a result, i missed my connection from YYZ to MSY. instead i was routed from YYZ to ORD and ORD to MSY. should i still be granted the double miles from YYZ to MSY? it wasn't my fault that the plane was delayed, right? or is it tough luck for me?

i won't be able to take advantage but i had registered for the promo and taken one roundtrip to HKG, got an email a few days ago

Based on your recent flight activity, our records indicate that you are on your way to earning up to Double Aeroplan® Miles. To benefit from this amazing offer, all you need to do is continue flying on eligible routes.

guess that's a confirmation i was successful in registering? they should really just send out confirmations since it seems like ppl get missed on sweeps and cause more work for everyone when following up and chasing this down

I just rechecked my account and I've had 12 flights that should have qualified for extravelganza miles....but zero posted. I know I registered at least twice (second time as insurance!)...and still nada.

Is the recommendation to email Air Canada or Aeroplan at its general email address? Has anybody had success with a response?

Mine did no problem and were credited at the begining in the middle of Feb for travel in Jan and begining of Feb and again in the first week of March so maybe they are doing sweeps 15th and 31st of each month?^
