I changed to a US address when I was on a long term (12+ month) stay so that I could get my postal mail immediately rather than having it pile up at my Cdn address, but the FP I needed to buy was not available for non-Canadian residents or something, so once I had all the AC mail in hand, I changed the address back to my Cdn address. As I wasn't at the SE level, there was no issue of meeting Cdn AQD so no benefit to a US address.

The 250mi minimum would grant you 250 AQM and 250 Aeropesos.
The altitude bonus would grant you [23,35,50,75,100]%, as appropriate, additional Aeropesos, from the 250. This bonus does is not additional AQM.
This interaction is not special; for flights longer than 250mi, the altitude bonus is only Aeropesos as well.

Me: "I'm just not used to this paying for bags thing. I've always been at least 35K. I'm so confused."
Agent: "Oh I've heard that's pretty tough"
Me: "It really is. It really is..."
Agent: "I'll just comp this third bag for you and waive the overweight fee, thanks for your business"
Me: "Bless you"
(true story)

HI, just wondering if something has changed in 2019. Last year I received early recognition for 75K and I nominated my wife for 35K status. I think her status expires in February 2019. My plan was just to nominate her again for this year since I have 75K status for all of 2019, but when I went to make my choices, it didn't give me that option? it only gave me three choices to make and I had to pick 2 of the 3 - E-upgrades, 75% aerplan miles and reduced mileage for next years status? why was I not able to nominate her again for this year?
thanks
thanks

Did you already finalize and submit your choices? If so, then my response is moot for this year, but, based on what others have posted anecdotally in past years, it is because you already have a nominee and you have to wait closer to the expiry date of the existing status in order to select. Especially in the last couple of years, there is no longer a need to rush to select privileges so I would have waited. But if you haven't submitted your choices yet, then yes just wait a bit longer!

Yes I already submitted. I really wasn't thinking at the time because the choices i made were selections I had made last year so I thought I was safe to submit. They must have reduced the selections from 3 to 2 this year? I didn't even have a choice to pick the wifi option.

Tags/package received today, just in the nick of time.
Nice to get the black ones. I hope I never need the privileges they come with beyond the eUp and redemption advantages but that seems unlikely.

They eliminated bundle 2 last year, but that just had eUps, lounge passes, and travel options, but you get all of them by default now.
