I wonder if the credit towards requalifying can be used to move up a tier. i.e. a 50k needing 70K to get to 75K elite?

Air Canada Altitude - Disappointing
As others have pointed out, this new system will have a negative impact on those travelers who average between 35K – 50K status miles. I happen to be one of those travelers as I average between 40K – 45K each year. I’ve never passed the 50K mark and I do not anticipate that will happen for me anytime soon. So, with this new system, I will be downgraded from Star Alliance Gold to Silver, I will only have access to “select” MLL from having access to all MLL / Star Alliance Gold Lounges, lose access to complementary preferred seats and no priority baggage handling.
Air Canada’s slogan for the rebrand is, “New tiers and benefits. With you in mind.” Seeing as how I stand to gain nothing from this new system but will lose quite a bit, I fail to see how they had “me” in mind.

Air Canada clearly doesnt care about your 40k.
Hopefully you and everyone else that got screwed will stop flying Air Canada. But that wont happen - so they dont care

Unless we get a mass of protests, I'm going to close this thread so discussion can continue on the new one started by Air Canada Top Tier.
