It is correct to use an apostrophe when "it's" is a contraction of "it is", such as is the case with LockheedElectra's post. Contrary to your post, it is grammatically incorrect to use the apostrophe for the possessive.

I can't find it. I see it came out at the same time as the original thread started (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...r-program.html). I wonder what happened to mine.
I have other emails from the email address [email protected]
e.g. "A surprise Holiday gift exclusively for you" for promo code HYR7CU81 dated 12/21/2011 2:07 PM
and "Get the year off to a flying start with a 50% discount on select flights" dated 1/5/2012 1:43 AM
but not the one you quote.
It shouldn't matter (I suppose) but I was Elite at that time.

The other thing I wonder if others could confirm is they all received the email with the same title/subject (thanks for including all the detail).

On the Aeroplan site, my email was marked invalid, despite it being valid. I tried just pressing the update button but no good. So I changed the first letter to a capital. It accepted it. I then used the hint on the above-mentioned post http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/18040494-post41.html to request my mileage I need to burn. So now I have to burn several hundred thousand miles before 20131231. That's what I mean about structuring my flying differently.

The reason I say "from memory" is I have emails dated 20111222 backwards and forwards to the shop that day, but I might have sent those via my laptop, and, well, to be honest, I can't figure out just how that would mean I would lose this other email.

I can (kind of) think of how the email could have been lost. My PC was (from memory) in a shop being upgraded around this time. If email was downloaded from the server, and then lost at the shop while they were working on it, then that could be why I did not get it. That would be very bad timing, and less than perfect workmanship at the shop.

So it looks like its going to be even busier than ever now. with this new program it will be even easier to make status (SOMEWHERE)

now does this mean, the more you fly the faster you move up in partner programs?
or can you move up in the Altitude program by 'sleeping/driving your way through it'

Big Deal, what a hoot. I get all the status on rental and hotel programs off my Amex plat card then AC could ever offer. Came with Marco Polo Gold grtais, and I have rewarded them with two HKG round trips. Upgrades on both due to oversold Y. How about bonus status miles like UA. Losing priortiy bulkhead seating just means more flights in E+ on UA. same as this year.

I am a little confused with this ongoing dialogue about a lost email. I don't think it really matters what happened to it, the changes are real and moving forward. It would be more productive to start figuring out how to deal with reality from the program side of things, not what the geek squad did to screw you over.

Just a quick newbie's question on this - take for example an A320, where rows 1-4 are business class, 12-18 are preferred and 19-33 are standard economy for anybody. I read that Elite & SE have access to row 12, and SE to row 17-18 (emergency exit rows) for free. What about rows 13-16? Are these non-pay preferred seats for Elites and up, non-pay to SE only, or...? I know they are never available to us when booking, and I always thought they were just full, but now I'm not so sure as my wife will become Elite for the first time in 2 weeks...
