I think the point is that all these so-called myths are actually true. Aeroplan's attempts to dispel them is actually coming across as a desperation move.

I think "getting free 1000 miles" is THE myth = b/c nobody will get it :D
every website/blogger is advertising it

Some might argue that, since the promo is targeted, it may constitute fraud to try to get the 1000 miles if you were not targeted.

Except it doesn't tell you it's targeted until after you've done it :p

It's a yuuuuge ripoff.

People are saying it's rigged.

I'm hearing that HRC is behind it.

I will build a great, beautiful wall around it.

And Aeroplan will pay for it.

Anyone who says otherwise is lying, and I will sue them.

To get the link you must have received the invitational email, and if not targeted by AE for yourself, then from someone who was targeted and forwarded on. Those using links from bloggers are never told by those bloggers that there was a targeted element to the promotion. They only discover this upon completing the quiz. This could have a significant accounting impact on AE/AIMIA if it had to honour all the non-targeted "winners" given how the link has gone viral.

I used the link provided by Margarit girl , I got the reply below after completing the quiz. Lets see what happens.

Thank you. You have successfully registered for this promotion.

Please note that some promotions are offered by invitation, so bonus miles for those promotions will be credited only if you have been invited to participate and have fully qualified for the offer.

Aeroplan reached out to us to let us know this quiz is a targeted offer (available only to the original recipient of the email)

Good for you (but you received the targetted email)

Nothing here, but I'm not targetted

I clicked on the link, and did the survey.

Then, I searched my email and found a November 25 email entitled
"your Aeroplan silver status fall newsletter is here"
with the offer.

How well do you know Aeroplan? Try our quick "Myth or Truth?" quiz! It only takes a minute or two and you'll earn 1,000 bonus Aeroplan Miles simply for completing the quiz!


So, I went back in, and did the survey again.
Here's hoping for the best.
As of January 16, 2017: promotion appears to no longer be active.
