Altitude bonus posting instantly
Has anyone else noticed the Altitude bonus (like 100% for SE) is posting instantly, the same day the flight posts, rather than in a Sunday sweep?
Nice improvement.
Nice improvement.

Since the thread title didn't specifically state which "Altitude bonus" 
, I can say that the monthly "Altitude bonus" for FP purchases also posts much faster than past years.

"Altitude Bonus with Air Canada and select airline partners"
and the:
"Altitude Qualifying Miles for eligible Flight Pass activities"
The word "bonus" only appears in one
However, good to hear everything's speeding up, even before November 5.

I did two flights on September 16th, a Monday. Both flights' base miles posted during the week, but the bonus miles didn't post until the Sunday. I haven't flown *A since then, but there was nothing accelerated about that one.

My flights were the 27th and 30th. The fact that no one else has posted this yet makes me think it's a very recent change.

I also flew on those days. My flight on 9/27 posted on 9/29, and the bonus posted immediately, but that was a Sunday. My 9/30 flight posted today and I don't see a bonus yet.

Posted instantly? As in, 2-5 days after the flight when the mileage posts, most of the time? Or instantly like UA, where the miles are posted to your UA account including any status bonuses by the time you get off your flight and leave the airport. ;-)
It sounds like an improvement, but I don't often use "instantly" and AC/Aeroplan in the same sentence.
