This whole thing seems like a rather sweet deal regardless of the COS situation. I'm not crazy, right? You can fly a same-day turn with 2 stops on in/out and bag 12 SQS?

Assuming you already had ways to fulfill the SQD requirement, yes

Yeah, my Feb 10 flights posted, but not Feb 13.

I totally missed this promotion and only noticed it today because my SQS/SQM/SQD balances updated while total AP points and LQM did not. Sometime during the last couple days, I received the 'Offer B' SQx bonuses for YYZ-VIE on Jan 3 and a YYZ-FRA on Jan 30. Since these post under the original travel dates and I've been experiencing issues with logging in and seeing my activity log (and I'm waiting for missing credit for more recent flights), I completely missed these. Thanks for sharing.

For 'Offer A', if my Starbucks and Uber accounts were already linked, and I have the Chase Aeroplan card, and I keep all that in place until April 30, 2022, the 5,000 SQM / 5 SQS / $500 SQD for 'Offer A' should appear ~8 weeks after April 30, 2022?

The cut-off should be Feb 11 or 12 then, since my Feb 12 isn't up 🙁

Or they're just running batch jobs without a fixed schedule.

Can confirm I got an extra 625 SQM/5SQS/$740SQD sometime between 0530PST-1130PST today - this aligns with my 2.5 round-trips to YVR so far to-date (the 0.5 is because one leg was cancelled due to weather so I took the ferry home to YCD).

I will hit the SQS requirements for 50k by Spring Break, but still be $485 SQD short, I have another trip after Spring Break, including the jump-start will get me there.

I like this promotion! I am halfway there to SE for 2023.

I would normally never hit SE, but now I'm debating canceling an Aeroplan redemption in March and booking in order to get the bonus SQD

Just not the cheapest TG ones 🤣🤣

I book standard all the time. But I see others have already reported so I'm too late to the game.

I did just make a J booking during the promo period for what will hopefully be the SQD I need to reach SE for the first time. (And despite it being on the cheaper end for J, it's still nearly twice what I've paid for a plane ticket before.)

No wonder I had to go gangbusters to even get to the E50 SQD requirement, especially when you were even short with those YCD-YVR fares.
My math originally was around ~44K/$2952 SQD, on Flex fares before trying LOL 😄

Same, I made 2 bookings to even get some parity to the SQD requirement.
Ultimately haven't decided to cut off at E50 or E75, will need to concentrate on other status later in 2022.

I'd suggest not assuming there's a definitive cut-off. One of my February 12 flights has posted the bonus, the other hasn't. It could be because one was after midnight GMT (i.e. AC might see it as February 13), or it might not be. It's AC. Just be happy that they've got it working this soon instead of waiting until May and leaving us all a huge mess to try to sort out.

Same thing for me here. One of my February 11 flights has the bonus, the other Feb 11 flight hasn't yet. Neither of my Feb 13 flights have posted.

I had my return flights from YHZ on Jan. 23rd post. My outbound on the 18th still hasn’t posted, weird…

This is the first time I've flown during one of these status acceleration promotions, and from what I'd read on the forum I had expected to be waiting months after the promo period ends for my SQX to post, so the fact that my January flights have already posted their bonus SQX to my account is a pleasant surprise! Now in a weird situation because of a couple business class short-hauls where I'm now at 50% of my SQD requirements for E25K but less than 20% of my SQM or SQS requirements.
