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.

Thanks Capedreamer; that is what I had guessed as well. Just wanted to be sure with the experts here. I could try calling in but I am sure the agent will read the T&Cs like we do.
This is for my wife. residing outside Canada makes it a bit more difficult. I linked her Canadian Starbuck account and did the Uber one with my goddaughter's mobile but the reward menu not there yet. I guess will go to estore to have a 4th activity just in case. Sadly we were planning to go to Canada last week to see family but had to cancel due to sudden illness. We would have gone to LCBO for an easy activity.

so, my original itinerary from YVR-NRT was switched to YVR-SYD. I used the credit from the Narita flight and applied it to the Sydney flight. The concierge assured me that the credit was like cash and I would get the full SQD value of the Sydney flight and that it would be eligible for the 2x promo.
First leg posted and it is for the fair difference between the NRT and SYD flights. Colour me very nervous.

Sent in the form on Monday. Issue resolved today. Was told the bonus SQ* is coming in the next few weeks.
Very pleased with the quick turnaround. They seem to be on top of this issue.

I am not at all fussed about when the bonus gets credited and, in terms of preserving prior rewards, wouldn’t mind it being done post July 1.
I get that others are looking for status bumps now though.

I am a bit mad since the bonus did not show up on time and I needed another Priority reward. I did get a Priority reward this week from flying but the flight that I had wanted is now gone and I had to book a more inconvenient flight connection today for around 70K more. Hopefully better options show up and I can rebook though I am not holding my breadth.

Status Sweep - April 27 around 19:20 EST!!
Many of my flights since February 20 have posted, but a noticeable number of flights have still not been credited.

I'm just checking my dashboard now; my flights up to April 17 have been credited. YMMV, everyone else.
I have not been given a link to make my select benefts; 2 status passes have been awarded to my dashboard, the SE black card logo is now my profile pic, I received a 150K threshold bonus (20K Aeroplan points). Missing about 60-80 eupgrade credits, but I suspect that will take a day or two to be deposited.
I would love to have the ability to get 100% Aeroplan Elite bonus miles as well.
Are you referring to the 5000 SQM/$500 SQD as part of the Starbucks/Uber/Credit Card "sub"-promo? That I cannot say for sure yet, as I was close to SE even without this promotion being taken into consideration.
