Thank you, Adam! I thought jump start and rollover would be somewhat related as far as processing goes. Clearly I should not assume. Anyways, still also waiting for my jump start miles…

Getting anxious about the 25k + $3k additional bonus/bump I'm supposed to also get from the credit card spend. That would put me at 70k SQM and $10 SQD toward 2023, which actually seems doable.

Guess wait until the 31st and then see? Is that your plan?

Maybe I'm missing something - but what is the extra 25K + $3K you're expecting?

That's the jump start for SEs (and 75Ks who didn't have a black card before the promo started) as they can't get a bump to a higher tier.

Right, but the poster only achieved 35K...so at most they should be expected a bump to 50K status - depending on timing of when they earned 35K last year...but that that doesn't come with any extra miles.

If they were SE in 2020 they only had to hit 25K levels in 2021 to trigger the bump in 2022

Still waiting. Nothing to be done until then anyway. Half the things people have been whining about for weeks have since happened, so I see no point putting in any effort before the deadline in the terms.

Jumpstart SQM and SQD Appeared Today

My 25000 SQM and 3000 SQD jumpstart from AMEX got added to my account today! With my few months of flight passes this year, that puts me in fairly easy reach of SE by year end again. Looks like flying continentally and intercontinentally will start ramping up in May.

No more confined to Alberta sightseeing . . .

Still no rollover eupgrades yet (though I see some are getting them now) so everything should be sorted out by end of January as promised (well at least on the jumpstart!)

unclepants and D582 like this.

I had a call from AC today from a SQM AMEX rollover discrepancy… and I enquired about this. After some debate about the terms of the offer, they realized something was wrong. Apparently some accounts (including me) have been upgraded to… the same status level in December. They are escalating the issue with IT…

Right. Technically not a “bump” but a rollover. Anyone who hit any status in 2021 rolls over all 2021 SQMs to 2022 for 2023 qualifying.

The “bump” is unrelated to rollovers. It’s a bonus for credit card signup and/or spend. SEs don’t get “bumped up”, but rather get a 25k + $3k “bonus” to “jump start” 2023 qualifying.

I got an email this morning that I am now 25k and that I can select the benefits. The problem is, I have been 25k since November and I was actually expecting to get the steo up to 35k based on the reserve card. And I cannot select any benefits, I got an error message. How should I interpret this email?

Has the problem been solved? I suspect I have the same issue, I might have been "upgraded" to the same level.

No. Although, I can see they have worked on my file since, as some numbers have been fixed. However, they may have upgraded me again to the same level, as I received a new 75k eUpgrade deposit as a selected benefit. I don't mind the extra 35 eUps... but I would like the SQx!

My step-up has been applied as of today, Jan. 31. 50K to 75K and was able to select new benefits. I have the TD VIP credit card.
