Understanding air canada altitude status
Hello experts,
I am looking at my AQS chart in the "my altitude".
The top circle shows 4 completed of 25. for AQS
why is my balance showing at the bottom 8

The information shows 4 segments, just like the donut (Air Canada AQS earned to date: 4).
You need a minimum of another 8 segments for Prestige 25K status (Air Canada AQS required for next status: 8).

That requirement is only for early recognition, and will disappear at the end of this year, and has no impact on 2017 status.
And there is no early recognition for P25K.

You need 25 AQS to earn P25K status.
Last year (and for early recognition on higher statuses this year), you needed 50% of those to be on AC metal.
So if P25K qualified for early recognition, you would need 21 more AQS, 8 of which would have to be on AC flights.

Even as a seasoned FTer the info they show on the Altitude page is confusing when friends and relatives ask me about their account.

I think 80% of the statements on the Air Canada sites (parent and child sites) are confusing.
I also think it's intentional.
Heck, in years past, I had eupgrades expire because I didn't know how they worked. It wasn't until I started reading FT that I even began to learn a thing or two.
