Just wanted to post a clarification on the Velocity badge and the one-time earning potential: from what I'm told, if this badge was to be earned multiple times, the description would have been “Earn 5,000 Wings every time you complete 6 flight segments.” In the description of the badge, it was written as "Earn 5,000 Wings when you complete 6 flight segments." All of our badge descriptions include the word “every” when it’s for every time. We tried to ensure that the language within this game was consistent in order to avoid situations like this one. Sorry to those who may have felt it was unclear.
"This badge may only be earned once." "This badge may be earned multiple times." Also, can you share anything about the other two mystery badges? Will they be one-offs? |

I believe it's including destination badges:
Canada 200 Wings for every take off and 200 Wings for every landing. United States 400 Wings for every take off and 400 Wings for every landing. EUROPE 750 Wings for every take off and 750 Wings for every landing. Asia-Pacific 750 Wings for every take off and 750 Wings for every landing. CARIBBEAN 750 Wings for every take off and 750 Wings for every landing. Mexico & South America 750 Wings for every take off and 750 Wings for every landing. |
What are you guys seeing for posting times? I've had very little show up on my EYW profile and the points don't even add up based off of badges.
I'm currently tied for 27th with only a few of my segments recognized so far and I'm sort of playing around with the idea of making a run for top 20, but I'm not going to go through the hassle if it's going to be a nightmare to get things credited. |
Updated my screen shots of EYW #3 T&C today.
Decided to compare the Screen Shots of T&C taken on 10th September @ 9:30PM EDT. In the 10 September Screen shot under New Badges: Blue Skies Badge. The T&C for that Badge, eligible bookings : 15 September - 3 Oct 2015. For Travel between 15th September and 3 October. Eligible Fares Tango & up. Checking T&C today, the Blue Skies Badge is replaced by Velocity Badge. Interesting. |

That because Velocity Badge had been voted. So, they removed the Blue Skies Badge info and leave Velocity Badge info.. along with adding a new line about earn one-time only.
originally AC was planning i all published fares including Tango to be eligible for Mystery badges. Bean Counters realised they can make some extra dollars & decided on Flex & up. I would not be surprise for the 2nd & 3rd Mystery badge Flex & up will be the qualifying fares. |

Yes, I realise Velocity has replaced the Blue Skies Badge. I was just commenting.

I would not be surprise for the 2nd & 3rd Mystery badge Flex & up will be the qualifying fares. Now, I do wonder if the voting might be fake and the result had been fixed all along :p |
There's a new badge on the website: ACCELERATOR-BADGE-TITLE / accelerator-badge-description. Hopefully the details will arrive soon...
And hopefully the third 'new' badge will arrive before too long, since there's just two weeks left to book tickets for EYW3. |
The icon looks good, showing 3 arrows:
http://earnyourwings.aircanada.com/i...ratorBadge.png maybe it will be 3X the wings :D |
My guess (and based upon EYW 2) is that it will be an "earn an additional x wings per segment" booked during the final two weeks of the booking window.
Rinse. Repeat. SG |

Why does the west coast get the shaft for EYW? This is great if you're based in YWG or YQR or in YYZ and can fly out YTZ?
West coast always get the shaft for AC and AE, for the dExclusives auctions, the trips are all YUL or YYZ departures, why no love for the west? There are SE flyers on the west coast aren't there? Just my 2cents... |
