I am usually the type to select my benefits as soon as I can. But I have read in past years to wait until July.
Is that still the best practice to extend the validity of the credits?
I'm expecting to have some eUp rollover from 2023 via my TD VIP credit card.

Yes, if you will not require the credits I would delay the selection until July. You can choose at any time if something changes so there is no need to select now unless there is another benefit you want immediately.

If I select the 75% bonus in July, does it retroactively credit back to January though?

Air Canada told me today that we should receive an invitation email to select our benefits.
Neither my wife nor I have received one. But my wife was able to select her benefits.
I have not.
Has anyone received an email?
How long can you wait to select?

End of the year, and depending on your selection some may be retroactive (e.g. the aeroplan bonus %). if you go wait until past July 1, then your e-ups will expire mid-year of the following year instead of Jan (someone please correct me if I got that wrong). Your other things e.g. lounge passes don't have extended expiry, and will still expire end of current year.
If you earn early recognition - then i'm not 100% sure but I also think end of year as well.

A lot of us received our 20 core eUpgrades with a January 2026 expiry, so I remain suspicious something about the policy has changed.

Has this been verified to be true in 2024? Have we heard from someone who did their Select Benefits, chose eUpgrades, and received them with a January 2025 expiry?

For the core e-ups, only 1 of 4 postings had the Jan 2026 date.

On a side note, I assume AC execs must be aware of the issues - there should be some intersting discussions around the table as this is a real cluster, maybe visible only to a small contingent of very engaged members.
