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 would think that based on past history
, all non-unlimited flight passes would count. My unlimited flight passes have never counted for these promos but individual flights on all other flight passes have counted towards such promotions.
and reading the detailed terms:
"Economy Basic fares, Unlimited Flight Pass purchases, and Aeroplan flight rewards are not eligible for this Offer B, including Points + Cash reservations."
indicates to me that flight pass flights other than unlimited should be AOK.

I'm thinking of having a trip where one segment falls before April 30 (trying to benefit from the Accelerate promotion), and the second segment falls months after April 30. Anyone know how stopovers are handled when it comes to SQMs/SQDs? Specifically, will I get any SQD or SQM after that first segment, or would I have to complete the flight to my destination before anything goes into my account?

Please see the calculator thread if you want to figure out how the SQD will be allocated across the ticket.

SQx are awarded per segment. Any segment completed before April 30 should be eligible for the bonus.

I'm impressed at the speed that the bonuses are posting; my only thought with no bonus this year was 3 days ago (Tues) but regular SQx posted... additional week only for this bonus would be nice.
