The problem is that AC seems to have botched the SQD calculation engine so badly that I don't trust any of their numbers anymore.
My last flight shows an SQD of 862 in the calculator - a number that exactly matches my own calculation based on the fare paid - and AC have granted me just 619 for that flight. I plan to email them about it (as is my new routine) but that whole issue & process makes the verification of the FT calculator, very hard.

It always rounds up to the next dollar.
So I'm going to deploy that change now.
It's not that I'm worried that at the end of the year I'll be $10 short, but its nice to have it actually correct, if only so you know what to ask for when you have to write in.

@quandide Thanks for sharing these data points. Can you please clarify the base miles though? Most of them look correct, but BRU-GVA and MXP-BRU are 2x the distance, and I don't even see any 200% earning classes with Aeroplan on SN. (These are distances credited to Aeroplan rather than, say, LH M&M, right?)
BRU-GVA 330 SN class P
BIQ-GVA 210 LX class T
NAP-FRA 345 LH class P
MXP-BRU 412 SN class P
BMA-BRU 787 SN class P

Yes, they are all SQMs credited to Aeroplan. But oops, in my attempt to be helpful, I did apply presumed multipliers, which was silly in retrospect as SN and LH credit P class in different ways. So these are the face values that showed up in my account:
BRU-GVA 330 SN class P
BIQ-GVA 210 LX class T
NAP-FRA 345 LH class P
MXP-BRU 412 SN class P
BMA-BRU 787 SN class P
BRU-GVA 330 SN class P
BIQ-GVA 210 LX class T
NAP-FRA 345 LH class P
MXP-BRU 412 SN class P
BMA-BRU 787 SN class P
