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.

This seems stackable with the “Elite Status qualification jumpstart for 2022” as well. Both of these promos will make me SE for the first time in 20 years as I’m in Europe every month Jan-April. These promos will keep me on AC for 2022/23.

Just tried to link my Uber account with Aeroplan to take advantage of Offer A and it wouldn't let me. I guess I will have to run out and buy something at Starbucks lol.

There's no such thing as a secondary Aeroplan card/account.
When you get a Aeroplan branded credit card, you are the primary card holder. You may, for a reduced rate, get a secondary card for a family member on your same account. Being a holder of this secondary card, would not get credit for being a cardholder for the purposes of this promo. Only you will get that.

While I'm sure many would think a link to an AC page would be all that is needed
, I've found it helpful to have the actual original wording of a promo posted in screen shot form, as aside from tech issues, wording in the T&C can change as noted by AC.This is the promo info available on Feb 1 2022 [within spoiler]:
