They do say "The Priority Rewards tracker will be in place in the coming weeks. " which leaves things pretty open as to an actual implementation date.

Sorry - your comment appeared to be in response to a posting containing the link whence that screenshot was obtained. I imagine the counter will not appear until they have actually implemented that policy They do say "The Priority Rewards tracker will be in place in the coming weeks. " which leaves things pretty open as to an actual implementation date.

Same. Though the bar looked pretty ugly, took the entire space underneath both the threshold eUp bar and threshold gift bar.

The priority reward counter is also showing up on Aeroplan. It is on the Your Aeroplan - Overview page.
Mine shows 10 available (both on Altitude and on Aeroplan). Even though I have used at least one, maybe two this year.

If you click on the question mark (?), the pop up window is still about AQD though...

Priority Rewards
On the overview page in my Aeroplan account, there is a not that I have 10 Priority Rewards available. What are Priority Rewards? Are they only of use if booking tickets using Aeroplan points?

access to seats for rewards when people without status have none
https://altitude.aircanada.com/status/priority-rewards
And yes, only for reward (points) bookings

I've got the priority rewards counter on both the Altitude and Aeroplan pages this morning.
Still disappointing that they haven't found a more sensible way to limit this.

For SE100K, we have access to Priority Awards at the same cost as basic awards; for E35/50/75 it's double the points as a basic award.
These are tagged with a black "Priority" bar in the listing, and you can select them (in theory) up to 10 times in a single year. That's not 10 flights, but 10 redemptions that have even a single Priority award.
The other (older) term used for these are IKK's.
Also, it appears that your limit of 10 Priority Awards is reset every time you gain a higher level of status.

10 reservations is plenty for the average Joe like me who doesn't have millions of miles or a ton of vacation days.
BTW this perk is probably the most useful thing I've used on AP redemption for awhile. Last Dec it got me 2 direct Y flights to Asia, this Dec 2 direct J flights to South America. Both times shoulder/peak season & only booked 1.5 months in advance.
Now if only AP can fix their site so I don't have to call in to get an agent to issues my tix. I always have stopover & open jaw on my award flights...
