I wonder for those EYW FTers that are SE at the moment, would sending an email to the customer relation will help speed the fix for this Flex G and others badges no showing up issue. Why SE is because SE usually get respond within 48 business hours (sooner in more cases) while all the others will take weeks.
I know if my own Wings not resolved when I become SE end of next week, I will definitely do that as the lack of respond, IMO, is unacceptable.

Looking another update on the Wings this afternoon.

Look like maybe I misunderstood how "rest-up" badge work. My first Biz Trip posted today, it is that YTZ-YUL-ORD round-trip where YUL-ORD and back is in P fare. I thought I will be getting qty x 2 of the "rest-up" badge, but got qty x 4. Re-reading the desc, it does say everything you take-off or land. So, is that mean every Biz flight does automatically qty x 2 "rest-up" badge?

Thanks, I did misunderstood this badge completely. I didn't even catch the "destination" or the "super destination" badges part at all. I guess I consider very lucky to pick YUL-ORD as my only P fare ticket then. So, my Wings count should go up by 4000 Wings with this news (to me) as I do have 8 (of 9) of these YTZ-YUL-ORD in J.

A single round trip of YTZ-YUL-ORD get me 6800 Wings now (with the correction now)
YTZ-YUL (100+200) + YUL-ORD (200+400) + P class (250+250) + Digital Nomad (YUL+ORD -- 2000) = 3400 Wings x 2 for round trip = 6800 Wings
That is where my mistake is, I should have just stick to this trip for 19 same day trip to get my SE status (I started at 19 AQS) and I will be better off with the Paries and East Coast Trips that I would need to overnight and stuff.

It was more than a few hours, as I found this on day 2 of the booking period and my last ticket was booked on Sept 20. The price did went up a bit, mainly due to FX I think as they were only a few dollars only.

Yes, it was very cheap (relatively speaking) with the 15% AMEX off code, my tickets average price is only ~$550 rt. If we drop it down to G Fare, it was only ~$50 to $60 cheaper.. So, I went for J as I thought I can get into the Polaris lounge + I get more Wings and hence, 1 less day or travel.

There was a sale to US destinations that saw high Flex fares and J fares at very low prices. The first wave of sale ended on September 24. Then from September 26, there was another wave of sale that ended on October 1. The prices I saw could easily put one's cpm way below 10.

i know, but I can't really fly much in Nov (projects at work already line-up) and I want the Early Recognition and hence need to finish my flying by late Oct. So, that is what delay my booking and also the reason why I end up with those other flights that it saved me 2-3 days of flying but it did cost me more too while I thought I will get more Wings when it was only because I made that error in my Excel formula... and now end up will be less due this news (again to me) on how Rest-up badge is actually works

The badge that I am missing now is only the "Level Up" where since I started at P25, I should get 250 per status that I went up.
And also any WiFi badge I end up getting.
