And the CO 100% AQM bonus was the other reason I booked everything already. Hard to pass that up.

Has anybody received the "Refresh and Recharge" badge or the "Up, Up, Away" badge?
Trying to see if I can earn these badges even when flying on my UFP....

Up, Up, and Away is very much tied to specific flight segments, so I doubt a UFP will count.
I'm curious if my lounge entry on an Aeroplan ticket will count, since it's more tied to an Aeroplan number entering the MLL. But since there's still a flight segment associated with it, I'm not sure.

In addition the lounge visits (which we know is delayed posting), the Up, Up, and Away Badge (for using eUps, etc.) has not been credited.

Out of curiosity how do you intend to mainly fly up front if you booked mainly CO? Large eUps or LMUs, sufficient number (eUps) available given many of your flights will likely be single cabin planes?

"With the Refresh and Recharge and Up, Up and Away Badges, now’s your chance to earn more than just added comfort with flight upgrades and visits to the Maple Leaf Lounge. But please note that the first batches of both Badges will be awarded to your accounts on April 27."

I started the year with 110 eUps. Even if my traveling companion has to mooch off me for every flight (I'd like us to split it, but my 14 day window beats his 10 day window), I have enough to cover us both. There are entire days where we're only on a BEH.
Aside from a couple transcons (which need 16 credits for two people), it's mostly a random short flights like YEG-YVR that need 3 eUps each.
The CO eUp promotion certainly helps with this too.
So who thinks there's going to be a big fight over Refresh and Recharge?
"For the Refresh and Recharge Badge, should a participant fail to ensure that they are not successfully checked into the Maple Leaf Lounge at the time of their visit, they will not earn the Badge."
They need to remove the word "not" in that bolded section.
And I have no idea how to ensure this. I hand them my BP. They scan it. Does that mean I'm successfully checked in?

I figured out the Round-Trip Express Commuter Badge through some Tweeting and playing with their calculator. At least, I think so.
A-B and B-A forms a round trip. 5 of these pairs earns the badge.
It seems to be just segment based though.
A-B-C-A and A-C-B-A would count as 3 round trips.
Quite a lot of flights required for a measly 250 wings.

You need to sign up for a mobile+ account on the Air Canada app and then link your Aeroplan #. I resisted it for the longest time since I couldn't bring myself to set up a second account. As it happens, the mobile+ app is pretty nice. It's the only place in the AC internets that shows all your bookings (flight pass, online, phone) all in one spot!

Power of three badge
Does it require 3 unique transactions or transactions from three unique (different) partners?
ie will 3 separate transactions at Esso get me the badge, or does it have to be Esso, Home Hardware, and Amazon?
If the latter, does that mean you would need to go to 30 different partners to get the max of 500?
Or perhaps like the flying badges if you had 10 Esso, 10 Home Hardware and 10 Amazon, you get the badge 10 times?
