<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">these targetted promotions run into the problem of infomration leakage. If ONLY the targetted people knew about the promotions, they would work very well, but as readers of this forum (and the Media and AC staffers) know, you can't keep a secret long when forums like FT exist.</font>

"would 3 x $738 fares ($2214) = tax give you darn near 1K status"
Unfortunately no -- UA Mileage Plus status bonus miles are limited to maximum of 20000 for flying and 9000 for 3 frequent flier competitor statements. Also, this may only be a targetted promo but that is unclear at this time.
A good deal if you qualify . . . I registered and will see where it goes.

Why are any SE's surprised by the 62K promotion? Anyone who's been an SE for several years knows it is Air Canada policy, the only consistent policy it has, to PO and abuse its best customers. Its a business strategy almost unique to Air Canada!
