The World is Big, so is our Sale - Sept. 2022 promo/sale

Here's another one ; seems targeted, I got it, MrsITAG did not.

Now wondering a) if my flight pass bookings qualify b) if I should cancel and rebook upcoming Flight pass fligths to make sure they qualify; flights to LHR and ZRH so far.

Ts&Cs don't say anything about flight pass bookings, so I'd also like to know about that if anyone has any insight.

Every credit-based FP (as long as it qualifies for accumulation) has always qualified for every promotion that didn't require a promotion code.

Not SQM -- I would say this is more evidence that the status gravy train is over

Also this, unlike the Accelerate promo, explicitly talks about flights originating in Canada. I assume this is to intentionally not target Americans transiting in Canada or Europeans booking to Canada or the US. Either there will be different promos for them or that's not what they're worried about marketing for now. Perhaps this is really an move on WS/PD etc? It's also only new bookings which makes it much more like the typical type of promotion from previous years (which were also always non-SQM afaik)

Nice to see that registering for the promo generates a confirmation e-mail.

Also nice to see that promos now "consistently" include the COS.

I have booked flights already through October...the fact that it is on new bookings is...annoying

The point is (always) to encourage you to book travel you might not otherwise book (at all, or on AC).

Not really sure what the expectation was. A rebate promo for existing bookings?

This promotion has two components, both a sale on cash fares and bonus Aeroplan points. The latter could have been awarded on existing bookings, if AC wanted to.

Very rarely have promotions ever tried to get people to go back in time and change their behavior.

Really, only copyright extensions even attempt this.

Two north America routes I was watching are 10% higher than yesterday.
Technically 20% higher than yesterday because there was a discount code available.

The international route I'm watching, no change.

perhaps for the NA routes, yesterday's inventory had 100 seats while today only has 75 remaining? Just saying.
