Elite Goodwill bonus?
Sorry if this has already been posted. I'd report myself for not reading the correct thread, but I can't find it. Please move it as needed mods 
.
What is this all about? It's fewer than the flight missing from last week, so hopefully it's not for that!

I got it too. No idea what it is. I suppose some free SQx is nice, but it's not exactly a meaningful amount. I wonder how much goodwill they're expecting out of it.

I’m glad others got this too. I got an 3mail response today saying I would have a short flight credited from last year and I thought this was their way of gettin* me to stop emailing!

This bonus triggered the priority rewards and threshold eUps that were earned basically through the various rollover/boost programs.
I wonder whether it has done the same for others, and whether this was perhaps the motivating factor for AC?

I think it may have only gone to certain people (though I'm not sure who), because I didn't get it, and I'm missing a ton of threshold stuff.

It triggered my PRs and pushed me over a threshold that I was waiting for from missing SQD in 2021. Win win.

I also received it. — Maybe they are giving this to the victims of their IT glitches… or maybe to those still waiting after their 25000 SQM/25 SQS/3000 SQD… (I am in both groups — although flight activity errors, miscalculations, and rollover errors have finally been fixed yesterday!)

More will would have been made good by telling us that, though!

Got this as well, though I did have a flight post after the 2021 rollover SQx posted and it triggered my 9 priority rewards and all the threshold rewards and eUps that canadiancow thought would post after having a flight post.. all around happy on my end!

I wonder if they are doing it in batches? I’m waiting for a wack of threshold rewards, eUpgrades and a Priority Reward. Nothing posted to my account.
