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.

As some of you know, I had a couple flights on February 20 and 21 for which I haven't received this bonus yet.
Since others reported receiving the bonus for flights taken weeks later, I decided to e-mail AC and inquire. I just heard back that they are aware of an issue and are working on it.
That's all I know for now. I'll report back with any updates. For now, I thought others in the same boat as me might find this helpful.

Same; bonus from Feb 15 flights posted in less than 2 weeks, and only a week after connection actually showed up for the primary credit. Nothing from Feb 21, or early March.
My only concern is making sure I keep track of what hasn't posted.
I find the backdating method where they post the delayed bonus to when you earned it rather than when they processed your account extremely frustrating. Fed up of having to look back multiple months to find if I have missing credits, but that is probably the intent.

Agreed, haven't found a better way to track it. It does also allow me to track my expected earnings with my future flights booked to ensure I hit my thresholds for rewards/status/etc.

The ability to track future flights is why I think it's invaluable. I've toyed around with building some kind of app that would read your posted flights, future PNRs, and allow some kind of manual entry... but it's a lot of work when my spreadsheet already works so well.

Yeah, it's been a couple weeks and I'm behind in these as well.
Missing:

Everything up to mid February posted the bonus pretty quickly too.

If I was flying more than my 6-10 legs per month, I would probably start doing it electronically.

AGREED. Understanding too that Status and Promos are a weird accrual/cash blend when it comes to the AC ledger, but most of us would find it easier to monitor on a purely "cash" basis and close month end knowing which outstanding items to look for in our account next month. Would it really be that hard?

This was flown on Feb. 14 as you can see, and then it posted a few days later but backdated itself to the date of the flight. IDK what to tell you- all my early February stuff has been credited.

The cow wasn't saying everything takes 6-8 weeks, just saying not everything posts quickly. As with so many things AC, it's inconsistent.
