My flight from last Saturday just showing as "pending" today. All flights for Sunday and Monday are still blank. So, as jc94 indicate, it might be very close for TTC192Rocket to get the status just before Oct 15th.
And for myself, reading TTC192Rocket had myself concern for my own situation as my 75th AQS will actually be on Oct 15, so, it look like my plan for getting my wife with E35 or E50K (flying 95th AQS on Oct 23) will not be happening

Jokes aside, I used the nomination for my wife when I got early qual last year and she loved having the benefits when traveling with her friends. She still uses the old 2016 luggage tags.

Thanks for the insight, jc94, and alc. Ugh, I forgot about the lengthy AQD posting times. I'm over the 75K AQM requirement, and it's just the AQD component I need.
AQD was introduced by AC, and they cannot even implement it quickly after all this time.
Whenever I fly DL, by the time I land (or next day), my mileage has been credited already on its app.

So currently as of Oct 15 this year I’ll be at 23/35 booked segments (I’ve already hit the AQD for E35k).. my next set of flights are October 28th, I’m guessing I’m going to miss early recognition for E25k? Anything I can do about that (other than grabbing another flight?).
Also, would AC ever look at all the remaining flights booked for the rest of the year for early recognition even though they haven’t been flown yet?

And no, AC never look at what someone had booked, as they can always cancel, no-show, change, etc..m
As others had indicated, there will be check for qualification after Oct 15 and you will get your status right away if it is E35K and above, just that you can't pick your 2017 package.

Select Privileges E35K
Perhaps there is a better place to post this question, but I should be hitting E35K for the first time this year. Never really paid much attention to P25K...like most...as it was not worth paying attention to... But I am stumped about some of these 'select privileges' bundles. All you experts who have E100000000K status, please be kind to me.
First of all, what in the heck is an "aircanada.com Travel Option"? The description online seems very vague. Would you go with that or the MLL guest passes?
Guide this newbie into the light...

They're a PITA to use, so if you have potential use for MLL passes (even for family/friends) I'd probably go with that.

For those who have qualified early for a higher status level this year:
Did you retroactively receive the E/SE bonus miles for all flights taken earlier this year? (This is how it used to work, but just wanted to check whether this was still the case)

This year I started with E35 and moved up to 50, 75 and, tomorrow, 100k. Thus far I have not received any retroactive bonus miles and would shocked if I did.

Air China posts AE credits within 24 hours. Air Canada takes many days. Go figure. The world efficiency is in China.

So I currently have E35K status for completing a challenge earlier this year, which is good till Feb 2018. I'm 4335 miles away from actually hitting 35K, and already passed the AQD requirement. If I get the 4335 miles would I get 35K status till Feb 2019?

Just made E35K and get to select my Privileges. I am not sure if the following had been posted somewhere already, but thought to post it again and also add a Wiki.
Here are the Reduce eUpgrade Credits selection for Bundle 1 & Bundle 2 for an Early Status Recognition E35K:
Bundle 1: 5 eUpgrade credits (instead of 10)
Bundle 2: 5 eUpgrade credits (instead of 20)
