There was something but it escapes me, there was a benefit added, and that was flights books on other airlines done on Air Canada website would count towards dollar purchased.
That was nice, but I found it almost 50% more to Fly Ethiopian to Uganda than booking the same flight on EAirlines.

I would guess some partner changes to earnings based on fares will continue as this seems to happen every year.

Hasn't affected me, but I'll concede this could have hurt some people. Was that new this year?
Has positively affected me (fewer people in lounges), but also has nothing to do with Aeroplan.

Knowing my luck...new MMers will only get 35k for life; existing MMers grandfathered on the old program.

Is this "interesting" as in "good" (e.g. we get more upgrades), "interesting" as in "bad" (e.g., we get fewer upgrades), or "interesting" as in "interesting" (e.g., eupgrades are free for flights which are a prime number of miles in length, but doubled if the number of miles has more than 3 prime factors)?
