bumped down to #31 ...

I wonder how long does it take them to credit flights after their confirmation email?

Time is getting short .... if I were you, I'd send them another note (perhaps forwarding their confirmation email) and ask.

And don't worry. Per their terms and conditions, we're each getting 1 million.
Oh...(quick look at previous post)...yes, of course. Welcome and yes, the fact you are listed first must be frustrating for CC.

I think when it is a booking window issue, they use Eastern Time zone, but when it is to their advantage, it is based on American Samoa time!

Technically, the rules state:

The Leaderboard will remain active until August 27, 2018, to allow for missing flight credits to be requested and be included to determine final rank.

The Leaderboard will be refreshed weekly between April 5 and August 27, 2018.

The final refresh date of the leaderboard will be on August 28, 2018.
So what you've observing now is what they call an "active leaderboard " . The so called "final leaderboard " is not due until tomorrow.

Probably at 94 O'Clock. Martian time.

Somewhere within AC HQ today a movie scene is being acted out.

“You are about to have a very bad day.”
”Tell me about it”

Time to open up their Access Database.

Access is the worst database I’ve ever used. I once fixed massive issues that occurred for no good reason at University by taking a 30 min break. Came back, logged in, it worked again without any changes.

It would explain much. The above image is less bad

I got my missing flights credited a moment ago. That should unlock one more Go West Badge. Now I will have to wait for that to be credited.

I hadn't noticed that this tweet was posted yesterday:

Did anyone actually see .... you know, anything?

Surely AC wouldn't post that they were going to announce something later that same day - and then not announce it.

Would they?

We have a winner! Congratulations to Team Jerrie Mock, and thanks to everyone for competing in the seventh edition of Earn Your Wings!
I'm actually a little shocked at the breakdown (https://earnyourwings.aircanada.com/en/team_selection). Jerrie was about 4x Silver.

I guess it makes sense. Jerrie Mock was 600 wings per international round trip, when combined with one domestic segment. Silver Dart was 600 wings per international round trip, when combined with four domestic segments.

That actually makes me feel dumb for picking Silver Dart.

But then again, I had exactly zero international segments, so...
