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.

From what I can see, the promotional 100% bonus is including the COS bonus, too.
In other words, for flights booked in PY I'm getting base*1.25 for the flight, and another base*1.25 for the bonus.
That makes me happy

That was definitely not how the first batch worked, and I have not received anything else. Nor do I have any flights this year below 125%.

That all means it is possible I'm having a brain fade and I'm interpreting things wrong ... but I don't think I am. I'm seeing "Air Canada Promotion 2022 GET CLOSER TO STATUS WHEN YOU TRAVEL WITH AIR CANADA" SQM as the same amount as the original SQM (aka base*1.25) - while the "Aeroplan Elite Status Bonus: Super Elite" bonus is just showing up as base.

Got about half of my "Air Canada Promotion 2022 GET CLOSER TO STATUS WHEN YOU TRAVEL WITH AIR CANADA" this afternoon.
For most of my April flights (about 6/10 segments), the “Promo 2022” posted but none of the March flights posted.
