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.

Very valid point. As discussed upthread it's either the letter of the law or the spirit of the law.
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.

"The promotion is for the direct flight only. You would get bonus SQM/SQD for the YYZ to VCE segment, not for the YVR to YYZ. Have a good day! Luc"

I’m missing a few retroactive Class of Service Bonus miles from the Jan 1 to Feb 16 period. Most retroactive posted, but a few missed. Aside from that, I’m basically caught up (just waiting on April 29 and 30 but it’s only been a few days so I don’t count those as missing.)

I have now gotten all my bonuses up to the end of April. Sitting at 80K now 
. Too bad I didn't know that I had to fly AC Metal - as I flew YVR->FRA->DXB and back with LH and got the miles but no bonus 
. Oh well - there should be no issues get SE with the travel I planned with the rest of the year.
