Is it done?

The numbers don't match up for me.

It has 32 flights, which means http://flyertalk.canadiancow.com/eyw...HZ-YYG-YHZ-YFC

Code:
SFO-YVR-YEG-YYC-YEG-YVR-SFO;SFO-YVR-YYJ-YVR-YUL-BOS-YUL-YFC-YHZ-YYG-YHZ-YFC

 4 x                 YUL | points:    800
 2 x                 YYC | points:    200
 8 x                 YVR | points:    800
 2 x                 YYG | points:    200
 2 x                 BOS | points:    800
 3 x                 YFC | points:    300
 4 x                 YEG | points:    800

 1 x  Wing Tips: YUL-BOS | points:    800
 1 x  Wing Tips: YVR-SFO | points:    800
 2 x          East Coast | points:   4000
 3 x          Canada 150 | points:   6000
-----------------------------------------
 1 x             Game On | points:    500
 1 x       Shooting Star | points:   2000
-----------------------------------------
                           Total:   23600
The site also has:
2 x On the Go for 500
1 x Level Up for 250

But it has me at 24,350 instead of 24,600. It's like it didn't count one of the On the Go, which seems reasonable, but then why list it twice?

Still no wifi.

yes, they did. As my AQM/AQS for Sat flights was posted. Tomorrow will include the Sunday Oct 22 activities as those AQM/AQS posted to our account today.

So, I do think we can now concluded that EYW update on Monday to Friday and it will update to match your flights posted to Altitude/Aeroplan account the day before.

So far, only flights from Friday will post in a 3 calendar day cycle (i.e. Monday) the rest of all the other flights will post on a 4 calendar day cycle, but no update on Saturday or Sunday, hence is an overview of the posting schedule:

Code:
Day       AQM/AQS     Day
Flight    Post to     EYW
Schedule  Altitude/   Wings
Landed    Aeroplan    Update
--------- ----------- --------
Sun       Thu         Fri
Mon       Fri         Mon
Tue       Sat         Mon
Wed       Mon         Tue
Thu       Mon         Tue
Fri       Mon         Tue
Sat       Wed         Thu
As you can see while EYW will update everyday, but there will never be any flights update on EYW on Wed, that is why all update yesterday are only Gift Cards activities.

---- Added ----

The EYW update above is no longer (or never did) correct.

Should have taken screenshots of yesterday's rankings, then I'd have good data on how much each of the top 100 players dropped on gift cards...

On the Go Badge is 250 each, not 500:

On the Go Badge

It’s in your hands to earn 250 Wings when you download the Air Canada mobile app and register for the Air Canada mobile+ service. Players who registered prior to September 7, 2017 (and are still registered), automatically receive this badge, which can only be collected once during the game. Find out more about Air Canada mobile+.
so 23,600 + 500 (2 x 250) + 250 = 24,350, right?

Many thanks to whoever is doing the YTZ-YUL-XXX runs. Whoever you are, it seems like you've made every US CBP officer aware of EYW, which makes life easier for me!

Also, is it normal for E75 service to include hot towels and newspapers? Most of the service seems to be just nuts, drinks, meal (for the 2-3 pax who aren't OP-upped), which I thought was the standard.

I had one officer in YUL last weekend who had no idea what the contest was. But I explained it

And yes, my understanding was every J flight had a hot towel and newspapers.

Curious what's your all time segment record on a given day. (Ignore time zone difference and only account for local depature and arrival times)

I think 9.

But i don't like calling something a record if it wasn't even a goal.

I'm sure you could do more than that by hopping back and forth YVR-YYJ.
