YYC checking in. Still no package for me either.

I also selected mine on the first day possible.

I better get my package before you. ;)

I had no package as of Wednesday either, although I'm now in BOG for a week. The wife will probably tell me when it comes though, I usually let her open that stuff since she loves going through it.

Is this truly a new enhancement, taken from the Altitude report received by email today

New! Expanded Ability to Earn Altitude Qualifying Dollars
Earning Altitude Qualifying Dollars (AQD) just got easier. The ability to earn AQD has been expanded to include all flights operated by Star AllianceTM member airlines, when ticketed on Air Canada ticket stock (beginning in 014). This applies for eligible flights flown as of January 1, 2017. This enhancement gives you the opportunity to reach the next level of Air Canada AltitudeTM status even faster bringing you closer to more exciting privileges.

Anyone in Europe got their package yet? (Last year I didn't get mine until almost April, and only after weeks of followups with @ACAltitude...)

I know, a tad silly to ask when even Canadian-based people haven't got theirs yet.

I selected my privileges early Jan (9th i think?). Still have not received anything as well. Also USA-based to help with any metrics.

YOW. Selected package first day. Received yesterday (100k).

Yes, it is. Not really part of the 2017 program though, since it only affects those qualifying for 2018 or the few who will early qualify for higher status in 2017.

There's a dedicated thread on it here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-canada-aeroplan/1818036-expanded-ability-earn-altitude-qualifying-dollars.html

Selected right after Christmas and package has now arrived.

As of Friday. Still no package.

Here's hoping for next week.

Yes that's it exactly. Thanks!

Uhh this might be a stupid question...

Do SE's get free business class seats on flights that have room when they book economy? I'm unsure what that row means on the benefit table.

"Free" in the sense that you need to buy an upgradable fare class (or pay a co-pay) and "spend" your upgrade credits.

no, but your chance of upgrade using eUpgrade Credits are one of the highest.

Also better chance of op-up in the case of a full economy cabin.

Are you referring to the eUpgrade Nominee line? If so, that means that, as a SE, you get to nominate a person, for the year, that you can upgrade throughout the year. That person does not have to be on the same flight as you.
