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
every website/blogger is advertising it

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

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.

Today I attended the PointsU conference at the Toronto Board of Trade at 77 Adelaide Street downtown Toronto. So I get off the UP Train at Union and walked up York street to the conference and who's head office do i pass..... AIMIA!

Too bad it is Saturday as they were closed as I really wanted to go in and say.....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

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)

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.
