What are the chances there is a sweep in the next 20 hours?

The Air Canada Early Status Recognition Thread
Could anyone comment if AC does their 'sweeps' on a weekend? I flew my 95th AQS on Oct. 30th and it posted on Nov. 3rd but my status still shows 75K. I was hoping for the extra e-upgrade credits for a flight I might be taking next week.

You will get the threshold eUps at 100 AQS.

Qualified SE a few days ago, after flying without my AE number on a few YYZ-LAS flights, to shove them into November so the upgrades don't expire in 2016.
Dumb AC #1.
Flying home today, DFW, on AA. Working on status for them. ZERO incentive to fly Air Canada after 100,000 miles. Like, why would we bother. Zero reward.
Dumb AC #2.
Most flights upcoming are not on AC, because, did I say, ZERO incentive given the next Threshold upgrade is stupid far away? I figure I've got an extra $10,000 spend to Dec31 that won't go to AC and will go elsewhere. (To be fair, some will go to AC)
Dumb AC #3
I wonder if Ben and Ben et al actually read this stuff, and realize how much disincentive they have built into the system.
Dumb and dumber.

I did 103K on AC this year (stupid stupid me ... forgot I was forced to choose early requal so that's 8K over, not 3!) - and all upcoming spend is on AA to get EXP. ZERO incentive to go further than 100K, since am flying non AC routes so no MM bonus and really no incentive besides that. Sigh. Wish we could at least carry (some of) the excess qualifying miles to next year... now there'd be some FFP innovation.

Are you guys sure you weren't virtual guests in a a couple of conversations I was part of today with a few other fliers (some of whom do not do FT)?
Not only are your points the same, but so is the reference to flying AA.
Hmmm, good thing I remembered this fun discussion

As Cow said, the early recognition cutoff has passed. On my Altitude Dashboard I now have a message that says:
You've reached a higher Altitude status.
Beginning early next year, you will be bumped up to your new level of privileges.
Dang, I was hoping for the doubled window to upgrade (LAS and still possibly SFO this year) and the extra AQM for flight passes.
On the other hand, I've gotten dBlack, woo hoo

Just noticed the same thing. Was hoping the cut-off would be a few days later.

Bummer.
I crossed the 100k line yesterday for the first time ever flying SA from DAR to JNB. Miles haven't posted yet, but when they do I should be at 100,075 miles and 50 segs with 50,507 and 26 of those on AC. My travel is very geographically spread and had to work a bit to hit the 50k AQM minimum.
