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.

While I know it’s an ongoing issue for some (many?) I believe lots, including myself, have.
I wonder if it’s a specific one of the criteria that is taking them longer to verify or if it’s just random? I got mine ages ago, but I did complete 4 of the 3 criteria (CC, Uber link, Starbucks link, earned through partners). Did those that are still waiting complete just the minimum 3? I wonder if it’s the partner earn that’s holding things up since I imagine the linked accounts and CC would be very quick to query.

I got my 5-5-5 Bonus, but it didn't show up as recent. Even though it didn't get applied until recently, I had to scroll back back back through my activity to see it. The posted date was around the time I actually fulfilled the requirement.

It has been useful for me to know that June 5th flights appear to have posted, but not June 10th onwards. I think those waiting for this component to post will be interested in further data points and this thread seems to be the place.

(Like some, I will be maxing out everything this year - currently 330K SQM and will be 350K soon enough)
However, after a bit of thinking, I chose simply to play a team game, rather than individual, for all the various rollover/double-up/cc promotions
With some pride, therefore, I would like to announce that "Mrs Chriscol1" has just achieved Super Elite status, having only ever achieved 25K status for the first time in December 2021 (ok, ok, also mainly my doing).
She still does not really care much, but I do.
