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.

Through CanadianCow’s PNR tool, which is amazing BTW, I’m able to see forecast SQM and SQD for an upcoming trip.
QUESTIONS :
1) For application of the promo, am I right that even my “L” fare (segment 2) qualifies for the bonus, because it’s considered a “Standard” fare ?
2) If so, will the promo bonus reflect my COS (-50%) penalty ? This being the case, I’ll expect total SQM credit for segment 2 to be 3542.
Calculation :
+3541 base miles.
-1771 COS penalty.
=1771 SQM base miles subtotal.
—-
+1771 PROMO.
—-
=3542 SQM total for segment 2.
