Just checked my AC Altitude account for no particular reason...
I received AQM/AQD/AQS for my last flights on AC that I booked through Avion. Last time I had flights that I booked via the Avion site they showed up as not eligible in my activities feed.
Does anybody know if Avion flights now get qualifying miles again? Maybe this was merely a computer glitch on the part of AC.

4 AQS required for next status? Seems odd, but I am okay with it! @canadiancow any idea what is going on here?

I can also confirm that a Christmas holiday trip booked using our RBC Infinite Avion points also received both AQM and AQD credits to our sons Aeroplan and Altitude accounts.

Just wondering if this would be part of the "new enhancements" for the RBC Avion cards. We received early this month from RBC... "
I have owned this card for a very long time and was my primary card and only used it once to book a flight about 7yrs ago. Needless to say I have a lot of points been thinking of transferring it to Avios since its the only "real/good" benefit. But if they start accumulating miles again this might be worth it. What I am hoping is that they can be a transfer partner with AC. Not sure if that works since RBC works with WS, BA, CX and AA. But it would be interesting if they will partner with AC in 2020!
I look forward to letting you know about more exciting new Avion benefits coming soon - Athena Varmazis, Senior Vice President, Cards "

Just to muddy the waters further, I booked an Avion reward online for YYC-OGG return (via YVR on the way out, direct on the way back) last year on May 6, 2018 for spring break 2019 (21-31 Mar). The tickets were in the Economy(G) bucket to OGG and Economy (T) on the return. All three flights showed up as valid AQM/AQS flights in my dashboard, listed as Standard with the appropriate dollar value. At first I thought this was a result of the itinerary changes on the outbound legs (both flights changed times, flight numbers and aircraft due to the MAX issue) but the return flight only changed aircraft type and it also qualified. So, I dunno -- YMMV.

Can anyone point me to where it says on RBC Rewards site where if using redemption schedule will result in zero AQM or AQD Air Canada credit or even generically. Yes, after two years since last using points I’m caught in the nasty surprise that the biz class tickets that I paid the vast majority for and used some Avion points are fully disqualified. I’ve looked through the entire site, have even tried to do another booking and nothing. This wouldn’t be so bad if it was a short domestic flight but it was biz from YUL to NRT return - what should have been a sizeable amount of miles. As an SE100K - I read fine print always and no where did I see this mentioned before purchase of tickets. Of course feeling like an idiot for having missed it - but can someone please point me to where this is stated? Sorry for continuing this thread but given the number of miles I’m coming to the experts.
