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.

Just got a call from a 514 number which I always pick up because it's always AC/Aeroplan.
They seemed to think my issue was with the regular COS bonus, and not the COS bonus as it pertains to this promo.
But she actually went through my transactions with me, and confirmed what I was seeing.
It'll be escalated, and hopefully resolved soon. Though this is a lot of work to go from like 649k SQM to 651k.

Is it just me, of have AC gone dark again with this promo?
The last flight I actually received the promo for was back in April. I took flights on May 6 & 8 (now almost two weeks ago) and there's been no promo activity on them. Are others still receiving promo SQM for recent flights, or are we back into another system wide pause?

That's incorrect. They started posting in February, hit some issues and paused for a few weeks.
If I had to guess, the current pause is because they need to re-program things so they only give the bonus on Europe flights.

Please note that over the past couple of weeks, a number of broad questions about SQx earning have been posted in this thread and moved to the status overview/FAQ thread as they weren't about this promo in particular.
If you have a question about SQx earning in general, even if your curiosity is piqued by the ability to increase your earnings through this promo, please visit that thread, as your question may already be answered there, and/or the information may be relevant to fellow FTers beyond the period of this promo.

I went back and looked at the original wording for Offer A (5000 SQM/500 SQD for 3 activities) and it says they will be credited within 8 weeks of the offer end date. So end of June.
I'm about $150 short of SE. Sure wish they'd surprise us and post them by the end of this month.
