Similar to posters above; this is for E35K email buy-up:
Meanwhile, I've passed the requirements for E50K.
"We’re sorry, this offer is unavailable. Either you are not currently eligible for this offer, or the promotion has ended. Learn more about Air Canada Altitude at altitude.aircanada.com.

Meanwhile, I've passed the requirements for E50K.
I hope the next sweep to update Altitude statuses happens soon!

I just got a buy-up E75K offer moments ago...even thought I qualified 28DEC, and AQD crossed the threshold 6 days ago.

New to FT, hi everyone!
It seems I got one of the few legit buy-up offers today to move to E35K for $779. I qualified for P25K as of Nov 30th, but haven't been swept yet so maybe they were waiting to see if I had done AQS/AQD run at the end of the year. I finished the year with
16371 AQM
29 AQS
3868 AQD
I was close to 35K on AQD, but to make up the 6 segments in late December didn't make sense cost/benefit wise. Ironically when I priced it out, it was around the $750 mark. This was all personal travel this year, so all on Tango fares at 25/50%. If I had done Flex on all of them I would have easily been over 35k AQM. Oh well

As with others, I’d also received a reminder for a buy up after meeting the requirements for that status level from flights on Dec 27 (posted around Dec 30). Well done, AC IT.
Perhaps they could focus on sweeps for people who could use the eupgrades rather than sending buy-up offers to people who had met the status requirements weeks ago.

Got buy-up offer today.
Buy up to 75K for $999.
Had 72K AQM; 41 AQS; 19K AQD.
Was trying to quantify the value to me. There's some intangible value to eupgrades and higher standing on upgrade/standby lists, but the only quantifiable part is the extra 25% bonus miles. Assume I fly 72K again, that's an extra 18K miles or 5.5 cpm.
(Either don't have ability to edit wiki or don't know how)

I received status for the first time this year! A lowly P25K with 95% Tango fares.
My stats for 2018:
AQM 14,404
AQS 27 (23 on AC and 4 on United)
AQD $7,129.43 (The number that AC really cares about)
Offered status buy up to E35K for $779 + tax I passed. Not worth it.

How much of that was Canada domestic flights? Based on the sheer number of pesos last year spent and the 4 flights on UA metal, I would suspect you could've gotten Gold or better on UA's program which would confer lounge access amongst other things? N.B. UA doesn't care about money spent on UA flights so long as you aren't a US resident.

Thanks - the 2nd has been quite a change (oldest is 2.5). We've settled into the new normal now, but big change that we can no longer play "hot potato" and pass off the little one to the other :P

If you took a travel break for the birth of a child they'll likely give you a break.

There is no way I would be paying $779 - but now I don't even feel special anymore

Thanks again - as an update, I did reach out to Altitude Parents, and just heard back that they're granting me the E35K status for 2019! . Another FT win! Thanks and cheers!

I don’t personally recall a offer where AQD wasn’t met. But at $30, it’s possible. Although the I need $5 AQD thread springs to mind. Did you check all your AQD has posted (at all) and what has is correct?
