We don't really know. They've said "later in 2021". Does that mean really late? Does it mean later than the beginning of 2021? Who knows.
AC probably isn't sure when they'll have all the IT ready to implement it.

Can they really implement it in the middle of an accumulation period?

The tech to actually credit you X points per dollar on anything SQD-eligible should be fairly easy, given that they can (mostly) credit SQD properly.
Yes, because it's just for Aeroplan points. SQM earnings do not change.

As a leech who bought my 25K from Travel at Home promo, I am more than happy with the 2021 program's iteration of 25K. I only fly J so honestly most status benefits on airlines haven't meant much to me, and with the US programs you'll never get complementary upgrades if you're not high level status, but the 25 eUps + latitude Aeroplan fares or flight pass is terrific. 25 is actually a usable number too, 13 toward a YYZ-TYO Aeroplan latitude award, and the other 12 can do well on YYZ-SFO upgrading flexible economy/premium economy Aeroplan tickets on days with no saver space for 2-4 credits each.

Can they make this anymore complicated? Members have to track SQM/SQS and SQD AND then make sure one is credited the correct number of points based on dollars spent plus ensuring the correct bonus is credited (if it applies) AND track the bonus SQM one gets being a black CC holder (again if it applies). My spreadsheet gets more and more elaborate every year.
