This year has been exceptionally low.

Is there a reason I haven't seen any of my flights/wings show up? I've flew across the pacific twice and flew YUL-SFO in November and I have not seen any of those flights/miles show in the EYW profile. Is it really that slow?

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

It was just updated yesterday which include my flight activities up to Nov 17. So if your flights are after Nov 17, you will need to wait.

If your flights are before, here are a few basic questions:

- When did you book your flight, was it between the EYW booking period?
- Did you book Flex or higher fare class?
- AQM/AQS posted yet to your account?

I think you should contact the EYW team (if not already) in your case since you indicate the flights were booked between Sept 7 to Oct 11 with Flex and up flights, and more importantly all the AQM/AQS/AQD already posted on you account. I think ever since they fix the Flex G issue, none of us had any wings from flight activities

Good Luck and let us know how you make out.

Nope, nor did I receive badges for hotel bookings.

This weekend has been incredibly fun so far.

We're currently occupying rows 2 and 3 on an E75 (philelite left earlier, so we're down to 6).
I'll admit... wish I was there. Ah well, AC is tuliping it seems... =)

You were greatly missed.

As much as I love everyone else, you are definitely my favorite EYW flying companion.

I also received the missing badges for car rentals. Now, if I could only get my On the Go, Level Up and Accelerator badges, I'd be a happy bunny.

Does anyone think there is going to be a benefit to playing next time around? With the uncertainty of AP, I'm trying to figure out if it's worth spending 10k+ and two weeks next May for a top 10 spot.

Has AC already announced next EYW will be back to Spring?

I would never factor this so-call uncertainty of Aeroplan. Will not going into too much detail on my reasoning as that is for another thread. But as long as they are offering 1MM (or more) Aeroplan miles for top (x), there is always an argument why one should go for it or not. Everyone had different needs, some can spend over 3MM+ Aeroplan per year and some can hardly use a few thousands a year. So, what not work for you might actually work for someone else. It is really all comes down to each individual needs.

Agreed. Spending 1M per year is easy.

I've actually cut back on my spending a little until I see whether I get 500k or 1M this time
