AC told you to call Aeroplan? What does Aeroplan have to do with packages? Call AC again, or try Twitter.

What does Altitude site say?

I called AC and they told me to call Aeroplan again. After calling them the lady said the computer did the check on march 2 and I may have been overlooked. she said it may take a month for the computer to know you hit status. only thing my last flight was Feb 5th.

i just want to use the little benifts i get with 35K on my flight in a few weeks.

Wow, I know AC IT is poor but this just staggers me. Perhaps someone else can explain how AC can tell you to speak to AP, as that perplexes me as does this one month thing. I only know a few people who hit early qualification but it didn’t take a month and numerous people here have said it took far less too. I mean the package maybe, but the status selection stuff?

Does the altitude dashboard not say pick your benefits or anything?

I'd send them a Tweet. It should be immediate.

I don't have that feature.


Looks like a sweep happened last night. I'd check your status today.
Looks like I got swept over. Still "status pending" here.

Took a print out of my altitude page to the lounge.
No way they were going to let me in.

Did you get in with the print out? I was going to try that this weekend and now I don't need to anymore.

I got swept again this morning. So Saturday and Thursday this week is when I saw my changes.

No. Agent would only accept what's on the screen.

My status made the sweep this morning too.
Would have liked to have had 35K for my last flight. Would have gotten a few more points.

This is correct in my experience - Aeroplan is still the go to for all status related issues, including bumping you up a level, and AC is only pushing buttons. You likely have already been granted your status by now, and should be all set going forward. Luggage tags by April may be a stretch, but those are really only for "Hey look at me - I have status!", which I totally understand .

So I still have not received my 2018 package. Qualified for E50k in November 2017. Is this normal?

Normal no. Unexpected not completely.
Did you pick selections (not required either).

Try Twitter.
