My bonus eUps posted as well; I guess there is a dlink router somewhere with a 10GB buffer that just started to drain.

When did they get rid of the SE benefit of 1 free change for reward bookings? I never needed it in the past, but could sure use it now.

You are more than three years late. It's the same time they waived YQ for SEs for AE redemptions.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago. The answer:

100% Altitude Bonus with Air Canada and select airline partners

Apologies if this has already been answered and I missed it ...

Does anyone know where I can find the definition of "eligible flights" for the SE100K benefit 100% Altitude Bonus with Air Canada and select airline partners reward option.
I am wondering if this reward options requires you to book in a special class such as Latitude, etc ... or does it follow standard terms where most booking (Tango, Flex, Latitude, etc) get your some amount of points while bookings like those made using Aeroplan reward Points do not count.

Thanks!

Quick somewhat OT question: How much can I trust AC IT? I just tried to select my benefits and give 50k to my SO. I get a message that my SO already has 50k status valid until February 2019 (which comes as a surprise - she is way past the required AQD but not close at all with AQM and only somewhat close with AQS). Can I trust that IT got it right and she really has status till Feb and thus make another selection or should I wait and check again in early 2018?

Sorry for the stupid question but how? We logged into her dashboard yesterday but could not find any info on how long her status is valid. It says 50k for 2017 which is correct and we can see her AQ information but based on this information the message I get when selecting my privileges is wrong.
