I play with my calculation again and it turns out if I exclude all my FLEX G fare domestic flights, I also get the exact same Wings counts as shown on my profile now.
Can someone please let me know if you have a domestic FLEX G fare flights credited on your EYW profile or not? Thanks.

Select manage my booking, put in your e-ticket number
Check to make sure the fare basis for all your previous flights end with FL
Just to be sure you have Flex G and not Tango G!
Edit: I just check and all my previous booking have been in H/V/W/Y fare classes, so I haven't experienced any missing flights yet! But I have flights booked today in G.

Bottom line: I believe the EYW IT team f---ed up, and they've also been screwed over by AC's Branded fare implementation. The consequences are that many people who would have played decided to abandon EYW altogether.

Now, let's hope AC team(s) indeed monitor this thread so they can start fixing the problem for Flex G. Btw, they reply to my Sept 18 flights issue and I reply before this morning of my Flex G discovery. Will wait for their respond and let them know about this potential issue.

As long as "flying" still matters, it's not pay to win.

Wild card
So am I the only one that reads this as:
"...Earn 1,000 Wings for every $500 spent on an Air Canada gift card, or for every $500 spent on multiple Air Canada gift cards in a single transaction..."
in other words a single transaction, once?
new here but a 6 Year SE100K
sorry to burst anyone's bubble.

Yes, this badge is to earn 1000 Wings for every $500 AC gift card(s) purchase transaction. You can buy 2 x $250 AC gift cards in a single transaction or 1 x $500 AC Gift Card. But you will not get your Wings if you buy 2 x $250 in 2 separate tranactions.
As shown at the last sentence of this badge desc --> "This badge can be earned multiple times."
Personally, I do think if AC just want more revenue, cap the number Wings you can get from purchasing gift cards at a reasonable number. This way, anyone that are planning to do EYW runs will most likely purchase some. But the fact it is unlimited, that is what stop me from buying any of them.

They can't clean it off liability until it is redeemed though
