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.

Every AC flight I've taken in 2022 has been Latitude, Premium Economy, or Business. Every flight I took before the first sweep posted without COS in the bonus. Every flight I took after (that's posted - I'm still missing one) posted with COS in the bonus.
When exactly was your flight?

Some time in last hour - I had 6 SQS/$1,224 SQD post. For some weird reason both the app and the website gave me a popup stating "you've earned 50k" when I actually earned it earlier this month.
I'm now 74 SQS and $9,540 SQD
I'm missing 3 SQS and $680 SQD from the Part B promo (and I don't believe Part A promo has hit for anyone yet) - once one of those hits completely I'll hit 75k and my $10k priority reward...and likely be done for the year - I have 4 Aeroplan trips booked and one paid trip at Xmas - I'll start flying again in the Fall for work but won't hit the additional $8,500 to hit SQD to hit SE

- 20-Feb-2022: AC 1286, PHX-YYZ, Latitude, B
- 21-Feb-2022: AC 123, YYZ-YVR, Flex, U
- 02-Mar-2022: AC 118, YVR-YYZ, Flex, Q
- 05-Mar-2022: AC 856, YYZ-LHR, Latitude, B
On Saturday, 30-Apr-2022, I received the missing SQx for the other 3 flights.
As others have noted, the COS bonus was included for the 2 Latitude flights on 20-Feb-2022 and 05-Mar-2022. Interestingly, the outbound LHR-YYZ-PHX segments I flew on 14-Feb-2022, booked on the same ticket, and credited promptly prior to this long delay only received the base miles. You win some, you lose some, I guess!
Now I'm just waiting on the bonuses from the BC Is Calling promo...

Ditto. Flights that posted promptly did not have the double up for COS bonus. All the stuff that posted this week has the COS double up included. I guess I will let sleeping dogs lie or they may claw back the COS bonus since no one knows for sure if COS should have double up ?

My bonus SQD posted in the past few days, but only to March 23. The boost for 5 flights since, from March 25 through Apr 25th haven’t posted.

If I had to guess, they realized they actually wanted to offer the bonus on the COS, and when they realized it wasn't working that way (because none of their promos have ever worked that way), they shut it off to fix it. So going forward, I suspect you'll see the bonus include the COS, and I suspect they'll retroactively top up the first batch.

Has anyone noticed a correlation between flights that took longer than usual to post in the first place and flights that haven’t yet had the promo bonus added?
I had two segments this year take quite a while to post and those are 2 of the 3 I haven’t received the promo on. The other is my latest flight that was only a week ago so that is no surprise.

Has this happened for anyone else?
It certainly has not for me.
