would love to hear AC rationale for this targeted promotion, not so much for getting people to travel more, but for how they determined who would be eligible....

I guess that could be the case from their perspective!

Define FOTSG...someone who always just misses getting status? Maybe that is how AC sees it LOL...

If I take myself as an example, I never reach status on AQM/AQS as I don't fly that much or that far, however, most of my travels are in Business class and sometimes expensive last minute fares (If I could get status only on AQD I would have have it for the past 3 years) maybe this is the kind of profile they were targeting.

It must've been very specifically targeted; tried it on 9 family and friends accounts covering SEMM, SE, 75K, 50K, 35K, 2x no status occasional, 2x no status rare flyer... and zilch!

Maybe, but my son has 1 paid AC fare in the past 3 years, and that was not really paid (RBC Rewards). He is eligible.

My wife has had a few paid AC fares, including a couple in J in the last year. She is not eligible.

hmm.. no AC revenue flights in over 6 months here. Here's hoping

Interesting T&C tidbit:
The Bonus Aeroplan Miles for this offer will only be credited to the first passenger with their Aeroplan Number listed (appended) on the reservation. Should this passenger cancel his/her flights, the Bonus Aeroplan Miles will be awarded to the next passenger with their Aeroplan Number listed, which is now the first listed on the reservation
