I think they should just make IKK cumulative, so if I only need 5 one year and 15 the year after I can do it 
. Plus it's a great way to reward those people who stay SE year over year.
I could just see the milage runs now....... I've got 24 unused IKK's and I don't want to lose them, someone help me find 8,000AQM flight before the end of the year.

That wasn't really the question though. The question is, how would that affect people? Is it just a question of where the threshold is set, or perhaps that IKK doesn't have much value in general?

Not sure why redeeming J is the same as IKK though; also, J IKK is limited to immediate family or SE+party afaik?
Why not just say priority rewards (a benefit afforded by AC, not Aeroplan) is only available if SE is on itinerary, or "immediate family members" just like J IKK already is.

Or perhaps I still have mental scars from the coworker who tried to persuade me and other SEs in my office to "sell" him points tickets to take his GF to Hong Kong "in style", then to sell him upgrade certificates (when they were still paper) to take another girlfriend somewhere, and felt we were all "wimps" for not wanting to violate Aeroplan rules. I raised quite a bit of a stink when he was travelling with me once and called the Concierge pretending he was me to get "us" some special favours, and behaved abusively when she refused. (He was not an SE, and the concierge knew me personally so let me know). He was surprised that I would consider this an ethics issue, but before it got resolved he was discovered to be cheating on his expense claims and fired.
It is an ethics issue. Actually, from AC's perspective criminal fraud (code), from your perspective possibly a tort of deceit, slander (pushing it), or something of that nature.

NM: paying attention now... limit as in the 10 limit; wrt to who you can book for, non-Domestic is limited to immediate family members, NOT including your parents.

I personally get about $500 of value out of each IKK redemption now.
When it was unlimited, the average value was lower, because I'd use 7500 miles and IKK to avoid paying $300 for a flight.
Correct. That's my other issue with the limit. YYZ-ROC counts the same as YYZ-SYD.

Similar question with regards to changes to priority rewards that also require priority reward space, does AE note that it was already priority or do they try to charge you a second time for it?
I ask because I had booked a ZRH-YYZ-YYC itinerary that I'd now like to change to ZRH-FRA-YYC. Original booking was IKK, new booking would also require IKK, and I want to make sure I don't waste a precious IKK on this if it hasn't been implemented properly.
