I don’t think so as it is the same case is with CIBC Aventuranand why would a bank be able to determine Air Canada’s decision to no longer credit for reward travel on a card that you are paying and earning points in. I am not sure why they would have any way. This would be Air Canada’s decision.

I received AQM for my Avion rewards booked flight to FL this past November. Didn't check AQD.

Another data point. Over the Christmas period we had booked our son on a domestic return flight using RBC Avion points. Flights were booked into Standard (U and S). Prompted by the recent activity here we checked his Aeroplan/Altitude accounts and he received AQM (25%) and AQD for both legs of the trip

Does anyone know if receiving AQM and AQD's with Avion is now back in play then? I have a bunch of Avion points that I was going to use on some gift cards but I usually prefer to save them for my Christmas time flights.

So I did a mock booking with RBC from YVR-YYC roundtrip and it books into L class with basis code L14UATG. I assume since it's still Tango that it would accrue AQS and AQM? Might be worthwhile for me to complete the booking for a lowly 15K points and try it out one of these weekends lol.

I double checked my ticket and the rewards site codes the flight in their fare class instead of as a reward. In my case it was T & A, Standard, allowing me to qualify for the 50% AQM/AQD as well as the segments. Also issued 014 ticket.
