How can I qualify for elite status on AC?
There are four main ways to qualify for status:
For further questions on Everyday Status Qualification or the Chase cards, please see the threads dedicated to those topics, which are linked above.
What are the levels of status?
The Aeroplan Elite program has five published levels of status:
Before the late-2020 revamp of the Aeroplan program, the 25K level was formerly known as Prestige 25K, the three middle tiers were known as Elite 35K / Elite 50K / Elite 75K, and Super Elite was Super Elite 100K. You may see the terms P25K, E35K, E50K, E75K, and SE100K on FT as references to the former branding (sometimes minus the K, e.g. P25).
Air Canada also operates an unpublished VIP program. Unlike UA GS, AA CK, and DL 360, it is not possible to qualify for VIP through flying. AC’s VIP program is targeted at a different audience that would not normally qualify for a high level of status through their own level of flying. For example, they might award VIP status to the CEO of a large corporation that buys a lot of travel from AC. Those curious about the VIP program can visit that thread; no discussion of the VIP program will be permitted in this thread.
What are the qualification requirements?
For the level you want to qualify for, it is necessary to the requirements for:
The requirements are:
Beginning in 2022, all members must meet the SQD requirements. (Prior to 2022, non-residents only had to achieve 50% of the SQD requirements).
What are SQM, SQS, and SQD, and how do I earn them?
SQM are Status Qualifying Miles. You earn them by taking flights with AC or Star Alliance airline partners. They can also be earned by spending money on certain Aeroplan credit cards.
For flights, SQM are equal to approximately the distance between the two airports, multiplied by the earning rate for the fare type purchased. For example, Aeroplan calculates the distance from YYC to YYZ as 1,669 miles. A flight in Flex would earn 100% miles, i.e. 1,669 SQM. A flight in Standard would earn 25% miles, i.e. 417 SQM.
Certain credit cards award 1,000 SQM for each $10,000 spent on Core credit cards or $5,000 spent on the Premium "Black" credit cards.
Premium credit cards allow you to roll over up to 200K SQM over the level you qualified for in the previous year. For instance, if you flew 56,700 SQM and qualified for 50K status, you would roll over 6,700 SQM to the following year. Please see this thread for more information about the rollover benefit.
SQS are Status Qualifying Segments. You earn them by taking flights with AC or Star Alliance airline partners, by using certain Aeroplan credit cards, or as a Select Benefit selection (as of 2024).
Each qualifying flight earns 1 SQS; there are no multipliers.
Certain credit cards award 1 SQS for each $10,000 (Core credit cards) or $5,000 spent (Premium credit cards).
Starting in 2024, a new Select Benefit is available to Aeroplan 50K, 75K and SE status holders that awards 5,000 SQM and 5 SQS. This replaces the "Lower Requalification Level" Select Benefit offered in 2023 and prior years.
There is no SQS rollover.
SQD are Status Qualifying Dollars. These are equal to the base fare plus carrier-imposed surcharges for the ticket. Or you can think of SQD as the total amount paid for the ticket minus taxes and 3rd party surcharges (e.g. airport improvement fees). On receipts from AC, the amount listed as “Air Transportation Charges” will equal the total SQD for the ticket.
On itineraries with more than one segment, SQD are allocated across the segments based on distance, regardless of what you paid for each segment. For example, if you purchase a YYC-YYZ round trip, each segment (YYC-YYZ and YYZ-YYC) will earn 50% of the SQD, even if you paid different amounts for the two segments. Let’s say you paid $300 for YYC-YYZ and $500 for YYZ-YYC (excluding GST, AIFs, etc). The total SQD would be 800, and each segment would earn 400 SQD.
SQD are earned only from flying (one-time promotions aside). Only flights themselves, eUpgrade add-ons, and unlimited flight pass monthly payments qualify. Fees for extra services (e.g. baggage fees, seat selection, on-board purchases, etc) do not count towards SQD.
There is no SQD rollover.
SQD: Air Canada Vacation / ACV: The one exception to "only from flying" for SQD is the purchase of an Air Canada Vacation Package. Air Canada will take 25% of an eligible package value and split it equally amongst all passengers over two years old. So a $10,000 package with two adults and two teens will see each passenger get 625 SQD. An “Eligible Package” refers to a vacation package consisting of a flight-inclusive vacation package or a Flight & Cruise package.
SQD: Companion Pass / Buddy Pass: If through a credit card or Aeroplan you have earned a buddy pass or companion pass that allows a second traveller at no-charge or low-charge the primary pax receives 100% of the SQD and the second pax does not receive any credit.
Do all flights qualify for SQx?
No. Many flights do not earn SQx.
Basic Economy fares on AC earn no SQx, although they do earn Aeroplan points.
Points tickets redeemed from Aeroplan or a Star Alliance partner airline do not qualify, even if paying with a mix of cash and points.
Points redeemed from 3rd party loyalty programs (e.g. Air Miles, RBC Avion) have a mixed track record. Be very cautious relying on ANY ticket you purchased through a "points" programme even if previous tickets have earned SQx or the website says it will. The companies operating this can (and have) changed the way they source tickets without notice. The Air Canada Aeroplan T&C explicitly say anything points related does not earn SQx and thus any dispute will almost certainly be denied.
In recent years, AC has added a number of non-Star Alliance partners. Flights on most of these partners only earn Aeroplan points (i.e. no SQx), and some only earn Aeroplan points on certain routes (e.g. Cathay Pacific).
SQD can only be earned on:
To illustrate, let’s use an itinerary consisting of (i) YYC-EWR, operated by AC, and (ii) EWR-CHS, operated by UA. If this itinerary were purchased from AC, both flights would earn SQD. If purchased from UA, only the YYC-EWR flight would earn SQD.
How do I know how many SQx I’ll earn for a given itinerary?
AC doesn’t tell you when you book a ticket, but it’s relatively simple to calculate. The AC website lists all partners, eligible fares, and accumulation rates.
To make life easier, some FTers have built a tool to calculate SQM/SQD earnings, discussed in this thread: Calculator for SQM, Aeroplan miles, & SQD
Important caveat for flights involving partners: miles earned always depends on the operating carrier. This is the airline whose aircraft you are sitting on when you fly. Sticking to the YYC-EWR-CHS example from above, you would earn miles according to the AC accumulation chart for YYC-EWR, and according to the UA chart for EWR-CHS, regardless of which airline sold the ticket and whether the flight is a codeshare.
This can create confusion in several ways:
What are Premium and Core credit cards?
Premium cards are the highest tier Aeroplan credit cards that have an annual fee of around $600 – Amex Reserve cards or Visa Infinite Privilege cards from TD or CIBC.
Core cards are mid-tier Aeroplan credit cards with an annual fee of around $120 – Visa Infinite from CIBC or TD, the Chase card, or Amex’s basic card.
There are four main ways to qualify for status:
- Earn a sufficient number of SQM/SQS/SQD (sometimes collectively referred to as “SQx” on FT) to qualify for status
- Achieve Everyday Status Qualification, which requires only earning 100K qualifying Aeroplan points (EDQ) in a calendar year to earn 25K status
- Be gifted status from an existing member. Super Elite may choose as a select benefit to gift an E50 package and E75 can gift an E35 package
- Through the Chase Aeroplan credit card, which:
- Grants 25K status for the year in which it’s first obtained, and the following year; after that, 25K status can be maintained by spending US$15K on the card in a calendar year
- Allows you to boost your status one level by spending US$50K on the card in a calendar year
- Some have received E25 through their Canadian credit card provider. TD specifically did issue some E25 packages one year
For further questions on Everyday Status Qualification or the Chase cards, please see the threads dedicated to those topics, which are linked above.
What are the levels of status?
The Aeroplan Elite program has five published levels of status:
- 25K
- 35K
- 50K
- 75K
- Super Elite
Before the late-2020 revamp of the Aeroplan program, the 25K level was formerly known as Prestige 25K, the three middle tiers were known as Elite 35K / Elite 50K / Elite 75K, and Super Elite was Super Elite 100K. You may see the terms P25K, E35K, E50K, E75K, and SE100K on FT as references to the former branding (sometimes minus the K, e.g. P25).
Air Canada also operates an unpublished VIP program. Unlike UA GS, AA CK, and DL 360, it is not possible to qualify for VIP through flying. AC’s VIP program is targeted at a different audience that would not normally qualify for a high level of status through their own level of flying. For example, they might award VIP status to the CEO of a large corporation that buys a lot of travel from AC. Those curious about the VIP program can visit that thread; no discussion of the VIP program will be permitted in this thread.
What are the qualification requirements?
For the level you want to qualify for, it is necessary to the requirements for:
- SQM OR SQS; and
- SQD
The requirements are:
- 25K: 25,000 SQM / 25 SQS / 3,000 SQD
- 35K: 35,000 SQM / 35 SQS / 4,000 SQD
- 50K: 50,000 SQM / 50 SQS / 6,000 SQD
- 75K: 75,000 SQM / 75 SQS / 9,000 SQD
- Super Elite: 100,000 SQM / 100 SQS / 20,000 SQD
Beginning in 2022, all members must meet the SQD requirements. (Prior to 2022, non-residents only had to achieve 50% of the SQD requirements).

Do all flights qualify for SQx?
No. Many flights do not earn SQx.
Basic Economy fares on AC earn no SQx, although they do earn Aeroplan points.
Points tickets redeemed from Aeroplan or a Star Alliance partner airline do not qualify, even if paying with a mix of cash and points.
Points redeemed from 3rd party loyalty programs (e.g. Air Miles, RBC Avion) have a mixed track record. Be very cautious relying on ANY ticket you purchased through a "points" programme even if previous tickets have earned SQx or the website says it will. The companies operating this can (and have) changed the way they source tickets without notice. The Air Canada Aeroplan T&C explicitly say anything points related does not earn SQx and thus any dispute will almost certainly be denied.
- Air Miles have generally never posted
- RBC Avion used to consistently earn SQx but many flights booked now don't earn (see thread)
In recent years, AC has added a number of non-Star Alliance partners. Flights on most of these partners only earn Aeroplan points (i.e. no SQx), and some only earn Aeroplan points on certain routes (e.g. Cathay Pacific).
SQD can only be earned on:
- Flights operated by AC
- Flights operated by *A partners, ticketed by AC
To illustrate, let’s use an itinerary consisting of (i) YYC-EWR, operated by AC, and (ii) EWR-CHS, operated by UA. If this itinerary were purchased from AC, both flights would earn SQD. If purchased from UA, only the YYC-EWR flight would earn SQD.

This can create confusion in several ways:
- During the booking flow on the AC website, AC displays only the earning rates for AC flights. You may buy a Flex fare thinking you will earn 100% miles, only to find out that on a partner flight you were booked in a fare class that earned less. For instance, if you buy a business class fare involving an intra-Europe flight on Lufthansa in a P fare, the website will show that you'll earn 150% miles, but you will earn only 50% on the Lufthansa leg
- When booking codeshares, it may be impossible to know the operating carrier's fare class. For instance, the AC website may sell you UA's EWR-CHS flight as "AC5678" and show you an M fare when you select Flex. But you may actually be actually be booked on a UA Q fare and only earn 75% miles
- When booking AC flights through a partner airline, you may not know the fare brand (Flex, Latitude, etc). United might show you an H fare on YYC-EWR, but this could map to Flex, Standard, or Comfort, and your earning would be impacted accordingly
What are Premium and Core credit cards?
Premium cards are the highest tier Aeroplan credit cards that have an annual fee of around $600 – Amex Reserve cards or Visa Infinite Privilege cards from TD or CIBC.
Core cards are mid-tier Aeroplan credit cards with an annual fee of around $120 – Visa Infinite from CIBC or TD, the Chase card, or Amex’s basic card.

Does "mixed track record" as to whether or not you'll get SQx from an Avion ticket mean that it seems to be completely random or does it come down to what type of ticket you purchase with those points? For instance, I'm considering using some of my Avion points to buy some Business (Lowest) fares from YYZ to various Canadian destinations just to get some extra segments under my belt. But I don't want to waste the points if getting SQx for the flights is going to be unpredictable.
I can confirm redeeming Chase Ultimate Rewards towards AC does get you full SQx. Looking to try the same with RBC Avion and want to know if these tickets will qualify for SQx. It would be Business Lowest which shows it tickets as Business (Z). Once booked, is there any way to contact AC and confirm if the flight will qualify?

I'm pretty sure they're done for a while. They've already created way too many elites, we definitely don't need more.
On the flip side if somehow I could make 50k next year then I'm actually better off *not* making it this year and getting the 35k plus the early qualify 50k next year. That would net me more eupgrade credits than if I make 50k after October 31 this year. Of course I really don't know how many miles I would be able to do next year but I'm skeptical -- I suspect I'll struggle to even hit 35k. I also don't know if there'll continue being reasonably priced latitude fares and I don't think the copays on lower fares are good value.

How do people plan around expensive AC domestic flights?
I recently got my Amex Aeroplan Reserve card. This was timely as I need to make a trip, with my family of 4, in Feb from Toronto to Vancouver. I was looking forward to efficiently begin collecting miles and progress towards elite status.
Problem is that i see that there are flights as low as $400 available for a total cost of return flight for 4 people, But if I filter to star alliance flights, then the same route gives me flights from air canada for more than $2000! I could have perhaps tried to absorb a bit of premium over $400.. but 400 vs 2000 is a huge difference. Do people pay such a huge premium to gather status progress?? I am sure I am missing something as I am very new to travel points scene.

I don't think you will find many people here who would recommend paying 5x as much to fly AC purely for the sake of earning status. Status can be useful, but that's a pretty huge premium. Although at that price level, are you actually comparing apples to apples in terms of seat selection, baggage, and anything else you might need to pay for? Not that those things will necessarily justify the gap. but they may explain more of it than the desire to attain/retain AC status.

Flight prices are dynamically priced based on available seats. When a flight is nearly (or even completely) full traditional airlines like AC will sell tickets for whatever price they can get. For people paying with their own money these prices can feel like gouging. The prices seem completely out of scale with the value proposition and disconnected from what other airlines may be charging for the same trip if their planes are not full. If you're a business and you have to get your employee somewhere at a specific time you may be willing to pay these crazy prices but for an individual with a more flexible schedule flying for their own needs it's best to just ignore those flights.
That said, if you're interested in status and looking at AC flights it can be a pretty hard pill to swallow when they say they'll get you there on a Basic fare at one price or you can pay $x premium for a Standard or Flex fare and pretty much the only thing you're getting is status miles. They aren't -- in my experience -- 4x premiums but they can be 50% or 100% premiums on some flights and it's hard to argue 25k or 35k is worth thousands of dollars. Even 50k .. 100k is hard to justify spending that much extra for.

This may be a silly question but, am I always qualifying only until the end of the current calendar year, or the next?
For example, if I'm 50k by the end of 2022, would I retain 50k for all of 2023, or would I start back at no status? (Excluding the current roll over promos, extensions, etc).

Early recognition used to require achieving the higher status by October 31, but they've eliminated that language, only saying they "may" recognize your status early.

Hi Folks,
Finally hit SE today with 135k SQM & 21k SQD. What would be the best way (if any) to get a jump start on 2024 qualification? Should I invest in a Premium CC to roll over the SQM? I currently only hold a core card.
Appreciate the expert advice on this thread

It depends a little on your expected plans for 2023, and how much traveling you'll be doing ... but I'll observe that you are unlikely to be able to buy a flight that gets you 35K SQM (which is how much you could rollover) for only the $600 that a premium credit card costs .... so unless you think that you'll easily clear based on existing flight plans alone, I think a premium credit card is a no-brainer.

Rather than start a new thread, I wanted to add to this one..
I was ready surprised to see an LH flight post to Aeroplan within 12 hours, whereas my AC flights seem to be taking 4-5 days as of late. Little embarrassing that other airlines post so much quicker to AC's own program.

That being said, you're over SQM by 35% and SQD by 5%. Is the extra SQM actually going to help you with 2024 qualification?
SQM certainly has other benefits, but that's the only one you mentioned.
