100% Air Canada Voucher - DEAD looking for info
Did anyone here manage to get to use this coupon code before it expired (PJTX87Q1)? It seems to have expired at Midnight EST December 31st and it seems to have zeroed the air transportation charges meaning you only had to pay taxes, fees, and charges.
Some sample images from a friend and from a fragment of a Reddit post that was deleted.
Just curious if anyone was able to capitalize on this or if anyone knew anything about its origins.

Somehow booked a round trip from Toronto to Tokyo with some friends but fully expecting it to be canceled by AC. Don't know much about the code but it expired so quick that one of our friends there couldn't book it even though we were all trying at the same time.

This sounds like history repeating itself.
A 100pc off code meant for a secret shopper hired by AC, but the code has been shared when it shouldn’t be.
If it’s too good to be true, doesn’t pass the smell test, your gut tells you it’s wrong, it’s wrong.
I know how this story ends

Is this a joke? Email customer service to ask them to replace a 100% off coupon that wasn’t meant to be shared and that AC canceled immediately after finding out it was being shared….

It means AC could cancel these tickets any time up until they're flown, although they'll likely do it much sooner.
What confirmation? The automated confirmation that gets sent as soon as a booking gets completed? That should not be taken as confirmation that AC will honour this booking. As @taupo said, this was clearly not meant to be made public (although it may have been for some purpose other than secret shopping), and anyone who made a booking should expect their ticket to be cancelled.
Confirmation email has been received. Air Canada will honour it!
