Yes, it should work. Next year, assuming you do hit SE and the option is still part of the package, you will be able to gift her E50K for the year. One thing to remember, if you hit early S100K and gift her the 50K this year, you won't be able to gift the 50K to her next year until March 1, when the current 50K expires. You cannot gift a status to someone who currently has that status.
I am thinking to give her E35K for her return flight from HKG on AC 16 where she will be on her own (I will return a week earlier with kid back to school) She got a BMO CC that come with 4 PP guest pass, so she is cover for Lounge, just thought to get the luggage for weight benefit to allow her only need to drag 1 luggage to the airport on her own. I am just concern that if I do select this E35K gift today and being Oct 16, the option will grey out right away and will not let me enter her AP number. I will hit SE next Friday, and that E50K can go to someone else or I will select something else in the list, that headache is for next week
Now I wonder if I do want to contact someone at AC, would I should contact? and which department do I ask for? I wonder even if I am SE now, will the team that answer the SE email address inquiry (which I think is the Aeroplan team) will know this too. I got ~12hr to decide if I want to take shot at this.

Instant recog?
Not sure which thread this question show go to, so, starting a new one
Just got my E75K status Today (Oct 16) and under Bundle #1 , it still let me select E35K status as a gift. When you click "more info" it does say the gift must be give out by Oct 15. I do want to give this to my wife, but not sure if I do select this, will it even still let enter my wife AP number.
Any E75K/SE100K FTers actually have this experience to share?

Thanks, I guess you all know me by now that I like to make simple matter complicated
I went ahead and select the Privileges, and the box ask me to provide the recipient show up for me to enter the detail:
and after I enter and confirm my Privileges selection, it did say "Friend awarded with Altitude status"
and the gift account did get to E35K status right away.
So, the E50K status might work the same next week, will see who will get it then

Yes, it does seems they only update Tuesday to Saturday and on a 4-days from the day your AC flight landed. If it the 4th day is on Sunday or Monday, that get update on Tuesday. I am currently waiting for my flights from last Thursday as well. And like yours, my Tuesday flights got posted Saturday morning.
Btw, one of my Friday flight didn't landed until after midnight, but it was a 2hr+ delay flight, not a scheduled flight to be after midnight. So, the "3 or 4 days" might be based on "scheduled" landing day.

Will hit 100K SE after my LHR --> YVR flight on Thursday (Oct. 26). Any thoughts on my chances of receiving early 100K SE recognition even though I missed the official Oct. 15 date? Should I call the Altitude Elite desk and speak to someone?
