Gift Card -- earn up to 1000 AQM for 2019 status
Don't know if I was targeted (probably but it says Altitude members)--I would never do this given the issues with using gift cards and I never have an AQM issue anyways.
FWIW (in the Altitude Report this month)
Buy an Air Canada Gift Card, get a head start qualifying for 2019 Altitude status
Give the gift of travel with an Air Canada Gift Card or use one to book your own. Purchase an Air Canada Gift Card between November 24 and 30, 2017, and you’ll earn 1 Altitude Qualifying Mile for every $2, up to a maximum of 1,000 Bonus Altitude Qualifying Miles. Be sure to enter the email address associated with your Aeroplan account at the time of purchase in order to receive the miles. Bonus Altitude Qualifying Miles will be posted to your account in January 2018 and will count towards Air Canada AltitudeTM status qualification for 2019. Take advantage of this exclusive one-time offer for Altitude members while it lasts.* The complete terms and conditions of the Air Canada Gift Card can be found online at aircanada.com/giftcard.

Probably would have been better to run this promotion to have it count for 2018 status, that way people who are short a few miles could just "buy up" some AQM.
I dunno what i'm going to be flying next year, so I don't think I'll partake in this one.

Is this targeted then?
Also beware of Air Canada eGift Card Site problem, but shouldn't be a problem with new purchases since they already switched providers.

I got it in the Altitude Report. Since it can't be used to buy FP, I don't have a use for it, myself.
Re: post # 3, I select AQM for qualifying FP purchase, I have nudged AQM over the line with a Dec FP purchase that otherwise would have waited until January.

Did anyone purchase this offer?
I bought a $2000 gift card. I still have not received the 2019 AQM. I contacted SE customer service who responded they have no record of this promotion.
ANyone successful in getting the AQM?

Hopefully you got to use the gift card! I would direct them to this page if you have no other documentation of the promo. Maybe someone else still has the Altitude report that applies.
Were you targeted or did you just get it from this page as it MAY have been a targeted promo (although I don't know why they targeted me!)

Yes I had no problem using the gift card
I received the promo directly by email, not sure if I was targeted for not.
Actually thanks to your original post I was able to track down the Altitude report edition that shows the promotion and have just sent it to AC. Will see what they say.
