Hopefully they will update/fix the leaderboard correctly this week.
If you are planning on eat in the MLLs I hope you are based further West than me

My Altitude account is reflecting the first two flights but nothing yet in Earns my wings. I did book that trip on 09.11 so within qualifying period. Am I just being impatient?
Yes.

They run batch jobs every few days. As far as I know, Sep 23 flights are there, but not Sep 24.

Got updated today and it is now up to last Sunday flights (Sept 24) but I am still missing my flights from the Monday before (Sep 18)

Sent email late last week and got no respond yet. Anyone here had use the "contact us" this year so far? If so, do you remember how many days before they respond to you?

The EYW twitter account does not let me send DM, state this account need to follow me first. I don't do twitter, only open the account thinking I can DM them. Did I make a mistake somewhere?

You can tweet at them (i.e., start a tweet with their username e.g., @aircanada or whatever the EYW username is), and ask them to follow so that you can DM. AC social media team is pretty fast to follow back for that purpose.

I'm not sure the regular ones can help with EYW though. But yeah, just tell them you have an issue, and they'll follow you.

I'm waiting on 9 WiFi badges from travel before Sept 23rd for flights that already were credited for EYW. Clearly they invented a new badge without realizing it's probably more trouble than it's worth.

look like the 2 new mystery badges will not be what we are looking for, unless they are adding 5th / 6th mystery badges.

at least one of the mystery badge will be releasing Oct 6 and will last until Oct 11.

The other one, not sure when it will release and you can only earn it once.

too bad that Nov / Dec travel just didn't work out for me and hence I didn't book any during the Accelerator Badges.

Will you continue the tradition of live blog like you did with V3?

Or perhaps a Moment made with Tweets?

Yeah. I didn't for SFO-YVR-YEG-YYC-YEG-YVR-SFO because it wasn't a true EYW run. But I'll make an eyw6.canadiancow.com before too long

i think one of the biggest pain for EYW is waiting for the update on your Wings

I found myself checking it all the time, even though I know it does not update at that time of the day.

Then when it finally update, you get upset as the Wings is not correct as it doesn't show up with everything you expected to.

BTW, still no respond from them on my missing Sept 18 activities

I sent them a message yesterday from the contact form with regards to my missing wifi badge and they answered me within 4 hours asking for a receipt from GoGo and said that once they had that they would credit my missing wings. I'm assuming once the next update to the board goes through it will be there. Was actually surprised how quickly they got back to me but maybe this is the outlier considering their track record

If every wifi badge is going to require manual crediting, it seems like quite a stupid badge.
