Wow! For the first time in since forever, the AC app actually alerted me to a sched change before the canadiancow tool did. Maybe things are lookin' up.

Thank you ChrisA330! I had logged into the Aeroplan site many times, been on the payment details page but had not seen the tiny trash can in the upper right hand corner. All is fine now and thanks again.

Exciting news. Today I see my little MM icon is back on my card on the browser. Wonder if @Adam Smith had to give up one of his 2MM.
And the app version
And the app version

It came back for a few of us a week or two ago, and it's been pretty consistent. I also noticed that several other issues have been fixed (another part of the website kept saying I was 75K, but now it says I'm Super Elite).
Hopefully it's all fixed.

Also, weren't you JUST telling people to shrink down mobile screenshots

It required vertical scroll on my 13.3-inch (2560 × 1600) MacBook Pro, because it's effectively 1280x800, and there's an address bar, tab bar, etc.

Pointing out the flaws of AC's website, app, etc, is never really redundant
(But seriously, I posted it because I'm surprised that after 6+ months, it's still like that, even though they've shuffled things around... The AC app team is usually pretty proactive about fixing stuff. Should I have explicitly have referenced your post so that it was clear that it was intentional? )
I don't understand why a 2560 x 1600 resolution is effectively 1280 x 800... The image fit very comfortably without vertical scroll on my laptop, which is >5 years old and apparently running at 1920 x 1080...

Yours is 1920x1080.
Mine is effectively 1280x800 with 4 pixels per pixel. It's why I get really annoyed when people post screenshots of text, rather than just copy/pasting the text. It's much lower quality than what I typically read.

I'm not an expert so this is probably not a technically correct explanation, but basically retina displays have higher pixel density than traditional displays, so a 2560 x 1600 resolution retina display fits in more pixels into the same screen real estate to be 'effectively' the same dimensions as 1280 x 800 resolution on a traditional display, but at a higher resolution.
Unfortunately, screenshots taken on retina displays, once posted as images on this forum, don't get automatically 'scaled down' the same way, which results in those massive images that require scrolling.
