Please note: this thread is for questions about flights you have taken where you have not received credit (SQM/SQS/SQD, as well as Aeroplan points - including elite bonus points), and how to get that missing credit. If you have a question about whether an upcoming flight can or should earn SQx/points (and how many), please see the status qualification thread. If you are missing points from an Aeroplan promotion, please post in the thread relating to that promotion, as these points post on their own timelines unrelated to when the flights themselves post.
For flights that have not posted at all, request missing points for a flight (should credit missing SQM/SQS/SQD, as well as Aeroplan points).
If the request is rejected by the automated system, e-mail [email protected].
For flights with SQD missing or incorrect, after SQM/SQS have posted, report a Status Qualifying Dollar discrepancy. It's also possible to e-mail the SQD adjustments team at [email protected]. E-mail does not appear to consistently provide faster responses.
If all else fails, use the customer service web form (select General Concerns, then Aeroplan, then Other. This will give you a free-form text box where you can explain your situation and attach any supporting files).
Please do not phone AC or Aeroplan about this. Anyone you reach on the phone will be unable to help you. At best, they will fill out the web form above, which will take far longer than if you just do it yourself. (The same is true of the SE and Concierge e-mail addresses).

This was an AC ticket on AC metal on a single segment. My inquiry is out to Air Canada, so waiting for a response. Something was off with their SQD discrepancy tool, as it was only allowing me to select future dates, which made no sense, so I made a generic request via customer care.

I had some flights for which the bonus points posted while for others they don't. Same with my wife's account. I hope they will figure it out …

Something wrong with their system, every flight since June has credit SQD 80+% lower than actual… salt in the wound when every flight in your most recent itinerary was cancelled or 2+ hour delay!

AC did not add to my LQM totals even though my SQDs and SQMs were updated. At least they rounded up $1.00 for the SQD.

EDIT TO ADD:
ALL of my AC flights since the start of the year are missing these bonus miles. I have been complaining and complaining to AP since June and none have been posted yet.
In fact, last Wednesday I was told by a certain supervisor from Vancouver CC named "Jenny" this is marketing's problem not AP's and next time to email SE desk and not them.

Your AC and Aeroplan experiences are both sad and weirdly unprofessional.
A few years ago, I recall missing AQMs and missing bonus from the selected benefit. It was not a pleasant battle with Aeroplan who kept saying AC was responsible and that I should contact them. AC agents said it was Aeroplan's. This was when Aeroplan was still owned by Aimia. I recall once posting that many of us were tired of being the "kids caught in the middle of a divorce". Like, get your act together.
AC and Aeroplan are remarried and yet still....
I would take a deep breath and write a nice but pointed message to AC and include things like these:
On January 7 of this year, AEROPLAN sent this email, inviting us to choose our privileges.
On the pages where we select benefits, we had options. This was one of them:
This was part of the summary page.
It is also up to you whether you want to quote the name and agent you spoke with (with date and time of call).

Thank you so much! I will copy this layout when I'll email them mid-september (was told to give them until that time for things to be fixed due to "staffing issues".
Thank God I have screenshot everything!

LQM/Million Mile Counter
Is anyone finding that their MM counter is not updating properly?
Until recently, my LQM/MM counter increased in lockstep with SQM, SQD, and the Aeroplan activity list, but I have had a few flights that have not been posted properly in the last few days.
SQDs, SQMs, and SQSs are all at their correct totals, but not my MM counter.

And 1150 SQD for a ticket that cost 622 after tax

I had a paid Business Class J on AC. The miles didnt credit so I did a missing mile request on the app. It credited miles under Class T so I only got 25% here. Any advice on this? Should I call in?

If you purchased a business class ticket, you will probably need to write in to AC customer service via the web form (since you've already been credited for the flight, if you use the tool in the wiki, it will likely say you've already been credited). If you purchased an upgrade, the T&C of both of those programs state that mileage earning remains as per the original fare purchased, so you're likely not entitled to anything more than what you've received.
Either way, please let us know. If you were indeed credited for a Standard T fare after having purchased a J cabin fare, that would be bizarre.

When you said "paid business class", did you originally purchase a business class fare (which should have been in J, C, D, Z, or P classes), or did you purchase an economy fare and subsequently purchase an upgrade either through the bid upgrade program or a last-minute upgrade at check-in?

Definitely didnt purchase an upgrade
I decided to call in.
I didnt realize that my original flight was paid economy Class K on one segment and one segment paid Class J. ( Aug 14 YOW to YYZ, overnight, then Aug 15 YYZ to YYC). My first original segment flight got cancelled so when I got to the airport, the agent had to change my ticket because AC decided to automatically rebook me Aug 15 direct YOW to YYC but I had no hotel in YOW for the night. The agent said this got me booked both Class K with business upgrade (and shows up as Class T on my app for some reason), so they are going to be crediting me Class J on YYZ to YYC, just have to wait 5-10 business days.
Thanks for your help.

Sounds like it will all work out in the end though
