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.

Interesting. Thanks. Seems (based on what others have posted) that you're alone in receiving the retroactive adjustments so far.

The FAQ mentions "The first sweep only had the 100% bonus applied to the base rate" ... I had one of my segment posted this way in the first sweep .. I Just verified and now I have the segment at 150% Bonus (it was Business class) ... so in my case they adjusted the first sweep ... maybe others can confirm ??

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?
When exactly was your flight?
Update for me as well: For the past couple months, I'd been waiting on missing SQx related to this promo for 4 flights since 20-Feb-2022:
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...
- 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

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 own Latitude fares from pre-Feb 20 have not be readjusted, including a ticket where the later legs took place after Feb 20 and received the COS bonus.
Hard to understand how AC is sorting stuff out...

I rechecked and the ticket _I THINK_ was adjusted was on Feb 21 (!) ... because of all the other posters I am not 100% sure anymore but I have an Excel file with the bonuses and the Bonus was marked as 100% and now it's 150% ... flight was "Business, Z" ... based on all other comments maybe I made a simple mistake when I updated my Excel file ... fijaircan are you 100% sure it was re-adjusted? ... overall this DOES NOT make sense there is no way Air Canada can arbitrarily give a different bonus to some flyers and another to others .. on the same promotion in the same allowed Period (Jan. 1 to Apr. 30) !! ... They will surely re-adjust .. and probably to the least "Costly" option

I received 300%
Aeroplan deposited bonus SQM 11636 for my flight from YVR to SYD as "2022 GET CLOSER TO STATUS", which is additional 150% SQM (include extra 50% class of service bonus), that means Air Canada give you 100% bonus based on your original SQM (PE 250%, Business 300% in total)

This is consistent with what other FTers have been saying for a few days now, as has been reported in many recent posts.
You appear to be the first person here to have flown YVR-SYD on a revenue ticket since the new Aeroplan program. Perhaps you could share the new base mileage over in the calculator thread so that it could be added to the database.

From the above, @fijaircan and @YUL_Around_The_World seem to be the only ones who've seen pre-Feb 20 flights adjusted retroactively. One was Latitude and one was Business.

But @fijaircan reports flights from January caught in the first sweep having received the COS bonus retroactively, which is surprising.
