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.

Yeah, it's ... Inconsistent at best.

Basically everything flown by mid February posted on February 18, whether it was own Jan 1 or Feb 15.
Then there was another sweep, with even more bonuses.
And now I think there are so few people outside of the 6-8 week published range that I could count them on my fingers.

Does anyone know if the two promotions combine? I think I should get bonus SQM and SQD AND bonus miles, right? This is the other promo I am referring to:

As another reference point I flew YYC-YVR-SYD on February 20 and the bonus points posted for the YYC-YVR segment within a week but the YVR-SYD bonus still hasn't posted yet. The SYD segment would have technically departed on Feb 21 eastern standard time so perhaps that was the sweep cut-off. All of the regular miles have posted.

It’s also just likely that there’s something wrong with their reward posting system after Feb 21. An earlier poster mentioned that they’d contact AC and was told that they are aware of the situation.
For me, the regular miles for my march flights didn’t even slow up on my app and I had to manually claim each leg - it was quick but annoying, the data was there and easily pulled up, but the system seems to have problem completing the last mile of posting it to my account. Funny enough my Uber rides to the airport were posted pretty much immediately - some system connection is probably broken.

My experience: all of my flights have posted the Accelerate Status promotion from Jan 1 to Feb 16. My Feb 17 flights onward have not posted the promotion yet. Regular flight posting seems to come within a few days with select benefit bonuses a day or two later.
For greater clarity, I did fly on both Feb 16 and Feb 17.

For me, the last flight to post was February 20th (Feb 25th flights did not), but it seems that there's a lot of people who had flights sometime after mid-Februaryish who have not seen any more posts for this promotion.

My flight on Feb 20th posted but anything after Feb 22 has not posted for me. Seems similar to everyone above.

I'm about to cancel a multi-thousand paid J trip on AC, to rebook on slightly more expensive (but a decent bit more convenient) LH flights, because the only benefit of AC for me this year is LQM.
They really need to come up with a promo to keep their frequent flyers flying, as opposed to keeping their "I've never been a X level FF before" flyers flying.

This promo hits anyone with any Aeroplan status, and while it may be particularly appealing for the churners who've gamed their way to good status the past couple years, it's attractive to anyone who hasn't flown much the past couple years who's just getting back in the air.
