But how is that different? The 100% SE bonus will depend on the fare option, booking class, and distance travelled too. If you book domestic Standard, the 100% bonus is 25% of the distance. If you book Flex, it's 100%. If you book Latitude, it's 100%, not 125%.

If they wanted it to mean "double", they could say "double". But they said "100% bonus".

If you fly 1000 miles in Latitude, the base is 100%, and there's a 25% bonus, for a total of 1250. Based on existing Aeroplan bonuses, another 100% bonus would bring that to 225%, not 250%.

I don’t think it is clear, but they could have said “100% of base miles”, or something similar, if that is what they meant. I don’t think that is what is meant.

100% bonus can also be interpreted as 100% of what you received, including fare class.

It can definitely be interpreted that way, but the elite bonus says:

So we have precedent for what a 100% bonus means.

I, too, would like it to mean "double". But I'm definitely assuming it's a 100% bonus on the base.

They do earn SQS/SQD/SQM. When you click through on the pass details it will say how much. The SQD varies depending on the airport taxes and thus will always be less than the purchase price per credit.
As to whether they qualify, the consensus seems to be "they should". I have not seen the bonus posted yet for travel done on Flex FP Jan 24/25. T&C say 6 weeks so may have to report back in quite a while.

How about flight passes?
 

I would like to assume that the promotion would apply to my last and future flight pass flights. Anyone have clarity on that? It makes sense that Cash booking means any non reward booking but that's not really clear.

I would think that based on past history:tu:, 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.

"All Eligible Activities must be completed during the Offer Period, with the exception of linking of Starbucks® Rewards, Uber and Uber Eats accounts and opening/holding a Primary Eligible Core or Premium Aeroplan credit card, which may be completed prior to the Offer Period, provided that such Eligible Activities are maintained until the end of the Offer Period."

That was the easiest (and cheapest) $500 SQD and 5000 SQM I have ever earned!:D

I’m still predicting double, just seems more likely to be what they intended - we’ll know in 6-8 weeks!

wow a promo i don't even need to do anything to complete for part 1 and part 2 think i will move a planned may trip into April and get the extra SQx while we are at it :)

Love your enthusiasm. Especially during ❄️❄️❄️ season. :D
.

One thing most people haven't noted here is that Offer 1 is only eligible to those who hold at least Aeroplan 25K status by the end of the offer period. Check the Terms and Conditions:

So if you're like me and you thought you were about to get more SQM and SQD to get closer to 25K, it looks like we aren't eligible for Offer A.

I had my mother trying to link to her (non-existent) Starbucks account until I saw that. That said, if you fly 25+k between now and April, you would end up with 50k for the rest of the year and next!

I don't think I can get enough vacation time in the next three months alone to fly 25k miles.

Wow...I was offline most of day and sitting in MLL catching up and saw this...I think this means roughly $2,850 SQD and an extra 20 SQS... this should easily get me to 75k status this year... very nice

Speaking of 6-8 weeks....the wording in Offer A says:

"Upon completion of at least three (3) Eligible Activities, the 5,000 SQM, 5SQS and $500 SQD will be deposited in the Eligible Member’s account within 8 weeks following the end of the Offer Period."

I interpret that to mean within 8 weeks of April 30, 2022 at 23:59 EST, so possibly anytime before, or.....

****

Oh look, just as I'm writing this post, the "Accelerate your way to Status" email arrived. :D I also note that the points showing in the email is the amount before yesterday's shopping at the LCBO 🍷

In the T&Cs they state:

• Only PRIMARY CARDHOLDERS or PRIMARY BUSINESS CARDHOLDERS of Eligible Core or Premium Aeroplan credit cards are eligible for this Offer A; Aeroplan account and Aeroplan credit card account must be open and in good standing through the end of the Offer Period to be considered Eligible Activities for this Offer A. Secondary cardholders are not considered eligible for this Offer A.

With "Primary Cardholders", do they mean Aeroplan members or a credit card holder? I don't understand why for offer A one would have to have an Aeroplan credit card?
