Q: For the May-September Europe portion of this promo, which flights does it apply to?
sub-Q1: Does it apply to flights to and from Europe?
A: Yes, both. Initially, AC's English-language was somewhat confusing and only mentioned flights "to" Europe, but it was later clarified that both to and from qualify.
sub-Q2: Does it apply on all flights on a booking to/from Europe?
A: No, only the flights that touch Europe will count. So, for example, on a YYC-YYZ-FCO booking, only YYZ-FCO would qualify for the bonus. Note: that the flight must be operated by AC to qualify for the promo.
Q: If I buy a fare that earns 150% SQM, will I receive 250% or 300%?
A: You will receive 300%.
The first sweep only had the 100% bonus applied to the base rate, and not the COS bonus, so in this instance, you would receive 250%. They are now retroactively adding the COS bonus, and nearly everyone seems to have received it. The second sweep applied the 100% bonus to the total, so you would receive 300% right away.
Q: Has anyone received the 5k SQM, 5 SQS, 500 SQD from Part 1 yet?
A: Yes, but not everyone. Those began to post June 2, and were back-dated to April 20th in Aeroplan's list of activities.
Q: Has anyone received the bonus on Europe flights after April 30?
A: Yes, but not everyone.
Q: Okay, then what is the most recent date for a Europe flight that has credited?
A: Sept 29, 2022.

I did an ACV in February and got the miles boost. SQD was dropped a couple of years ago IIRC

The FAQ mentions "The first sweep only had the 100% bonus applied to the base rate" ... I had one of my segment posted this way in the first sweep .. I Just verified and now I have the segment at 150% Bonus (it was Business class) ... so in my case they adjusted the first sweep ... maybe others can confirm ??

So everyone here had at least 1 bonus posted?
I have absolutely none and all my AC flights were between March 1st and 15th.
Just to be clear, I'd still get bonus SQx on AC operated flights ticketed 014 even though some segments are partner flights right?

AC operated is all that matters, my AC flights were booked with LH flight numbers on 220 ticket and it did not have any impact on the bonus SQx.

And in case I missed it, I didn't have to register for this promo right? And tickets issued last year is still ok? As long as flights were within promo period?

I'm now 74 SQS and $9,540 SQD
I'm missing 3 SQS and $680 SQD from the Part B promo (and I don't believe Part A promo has hit for anyone yet) - once one of those hits completely I'll hit 75k and my $10k priority reward...and likely be done for the year - I have 4 Aeroplan trips booked and one paid trip at Xmas - I'll start flying again in the Fall for work but won't hit the additional $8,500 to hit SQD to hit SE

I’ve had nothing further since the update a few days ago so still missing some things. That said, I have 8 priority rewards and I’m relatively flush with eUps so it doesn’t really matter. It’s just annoying to have to track.

I am waiting on about a dozen to post, and the SQD will bump me to SE; but none have posted so far. I assume (dangerous, I know!) that this is being done in batches like the promos earlier in the year...and there may be neither rhyme nor reason to when the posting happens.
