Ended up the year with:
100,332 AQM
78 AQS
$25,878 AQD
Doing mostly YYC-YYZ on an East-West Connector FP. First time hitting 100K after years of 50K and 75K but my flying in 2018 will likely drop. And at just over $0.25/mile AC made a bit of money from my flying in 2017
Loved Ziptie's even 300K so was looking at others near 100K and saw Air Travis with 100,167 in October but still travelling, montrealer at 100,003 posted Nov 18, and rehoult done for the year at 100,457 posted 3 days ago. Will be interesting to see who can get closest to 100,000 on the nose at year end. We need a new contest!

One flight to Asia, many to LHR, a couple to the Caribbean, DCA, YSJ,... and a detour via YVR on my last return from Europe.

Thanks to skybluesea for pointing out about the FLEX FP. One major benefit to this is 4 eups to get into J cabin. Another benefit is last minute bookings without paying higher fares.

Yes, generally speaking, as AC running system-wide about $0.182/revenue/seat-mile in 2016.

your right, some SE will achieve status without strict 100k miles flown, although with AQD, pretty clear AC far more concerned with total spend.

typically, airlines like AC report avg revenue (18.2c) seat/mile as "butts-in-seats", thus will NOT include COS as total miles flown.

I am at about 18 cents per AQM as well.

please help me understand how 175k @ CC spend/mile gets to $20k AQD minimum?
My calc. is 348,450 miles, assuming only $20k spend on Flex with 100% AQM.
If CC flew biz on every leg in 2017, then with +50% COS bonus, then would be required to fly 232,300.
Impressive none the less

I guess my mindset is different.... I fly, both for business and personal, and then I earn SE status- been like that for more than 15 years now. I have never counted cpm nor try to get below a certain threshold, nor ever tried to get SE as cheaply as i could....I guess that's why Air Canada likes me.

This year, AC metal up but reflects more P/Z flying rather than actual miles flown, Star travel down, with Other carriers, mostly OW up quite a bit - my NON AC spend nearly as much as my AC spend.
Onward and upward...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
