gifted E50 to a friend
Has anyone selected this option?
i did and received my package for SE.
they haven't yet received anything about 50k?
(and would like to use lounge access in a couple of weeks)
When/how does the friend receive their 50k package?
thanks for any insights.

They will give AC their address during selection of privileges.
And if they have an android phone they can load up the virtual card on their AC app.

They got the ability to select the day after I nominated them. Email notification of being nominated arrived about 2 weeks later.
Tell them to go to altitude.aircanada.com and log in with their aeroplan number and password and they should be able to select privileges right now.

I selected 50K for my husband, and he was able to select privileges next day. He also got his new package in the mail around Jan 6th, while I am still waiting for my SE package....hopefully not for long :-)

Just saw someone in Flyertea spend close to 2000 CDN in two days to get 50K status on air china...Surely some people would sell their 50K Status at that price level or even much lower(1000, 800?)
Or more importantly, whats the value being placed on 50K Status as oppose to other options within bundle 1?

Have you guys ever try to sell 50K status, or more importantly, is there a demand for it?

Sure, gift it to me. I can stack E50K on top of my SE status and get some extra eUps and an additional 50% bonus miles! AC will totally let me do that, I'm sure.

Also, you're already E50K.

If someone has E50K status already, it appears you cannot gift them E50K status until after their current status expires. I gifted E50K status to a relative last year and just tried to gift it again to the same person and it came back with a message that they have status until Feb 29th and try again March 2nd.
Why would AC care that the person has status already? What is the advantage to AC making someone wait until their current status expires? Apart from not having e-ups for a few days in between I suppose. Is it just too hard for AC IT to process this request? Seems silly but then again... this is AC so really, silly = just another day.
