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.

At least three updates today for me since midnight Eastern. And now I am all caught up to date.
We will see if the upcoming European flights credit any faster.

You will earn SQM based on the fare rules and you will earn SQD on the discounted price but again refer to the fare rules to see if you qualify to earn SQD.

For example a basic fare may not earn any SQM/SQD. So just make sure you select the right fare accordingly.

Over 350,000 SQM and over $25,000 SQD
Not counting, not worrying, not looking......I am good.
Received the $2,000 GC for 300,000 and now waiting for the $4,000 GC for 350,000
May start using some of those earned points and begin spending again on January 1, 2023!
Have to say, these promos are a great incentive to spend and fly

Hey guys, so if I book from YVR to VCE, but there is a stop along the way in YYZ, do I get the SQM bonus from YVR to YYZ? Or just from the YYZ to VCE segment?
Thanks again for all your help!

If it's the former, AC will do a lot to deter anyone who does not live in an AC European gateway city to simply not play. Which kinda does not seem to be the point. Luckily, flights can also be cancelled.
If the crediting pace is the same as pre-April, we may find out for sure by sometime in August.
