Definitely something "odd" going on - just logged back in, AQM 82K+, AQS 95, AQD $0.

That it fails to display AQD happens often enough that it is "normal".

I'm confused. Are you saying you except to be SE now because you hit 95 segments and $29k? As far as I was aware, you'd need 90 segments, unless you are SE in which case you'd need 90. Your profile says you are E75 so I'm assuming you do indeed need 5 segments more.

I could have missed something.

Qualification for SE100K is 100kAQM or 95AQS.

Thanks for the info. Glad they are still giving instant status once it met the requirement.

Now - you need to update your FT profile

If there was a face palm emoji I'd use it, I never even realized SE was on 95 segments. Glad they got there, eventually

Ha! I met the requirement a few days back, and no luck here. Going from E50K to E75K... c'mon, AC: sweep again!

Have all of your qualifying miles/segments/$ posted? Do they all show on your Dashboard?

Yep, or I wouldn't be ranting.

I have 81.8K AQMs, and over $9400 AQMs.

Since the Altitude "era" began, I have been: E50K, E75K, S100K (all in 2013), S100K (2013-2016) E50K, and now E75K (in 2017).

And AC needs to update my profile. Boarding pass says E75 - Zone 2. As my flight is delayed, just for fun I thought I'd ask the check-in agent to see if she could change it. She accepted the challenge but sadly failed. She told me "although my Altitude profile was updated, my Air Canada profile was not".

Can you load up the card on your smartphone and flash that at them with your boarding pass?

i think it is because your status was updated during the day today, hence, the other systems do get this status until yet another overnight update - tonight or the night after. My E35K kick in last Thursday and when I OLCI last Saturday for my Sunday flight, it did show E35K.

My Air Canada mobile app shows SE100. But it too produces an E75 boarding pass. I wonder if their new CIO has any idea what they've gotten themself into.
