Upgrade points can be used for domestic or interntional. Number of points to redeem will depend on fare class and distance. AC does not status match.

I obtained AC E in August 2011 (35k). So I will be an AC E from August 2011 up until the end of 2012.
Question though, will any additional miles I earn after 35k in 2011 be counted towards my Elite Status next year for 2013?
Do I need 35k in 2012 for 2013 Elite and so on?
Slightly confused.

Your status miles balance will be reset to 0 on Jan. 1, 2012.
You´ll need to nearn 35k miles in 2012 to earn Elite status for the following membership year (March 1, 2013 - Feb. 28, 2014)

In any event, keep an eye on the AC and AP websites, since things may in fact be shown there (threshold ecredits and ability to choose benefits) before you receive the emails.

AP/Star Recognition
Hitting my travel stride this year with AP but was wondering about a couple of things because of my travel patterns; I don't always fly AC but usually always fly Star Alliance partners.
I currently have 30k status points, will be over 35k by the end of the week and was trying to figure out if I can get any status from Star Alliance if I continue to rack up the points this year? There is an outside chance that I won't have collect the full status this year with AP, even though I've racked up quite a few.
A friend of mine offered to help on his upcoming trip to Europe as he'll be flying AC but I was wondering if this is an o.k/legit thing to do?
Cheers!

But it takes 100K AIS miles (AIS = Montreal translation of YukonYXY's 'BIS'
) to get to Super. I take it you're referring to SuperElite when you say 'the full status this year'. I don't understand what you mean by 'friend helping out' either.

Hopefully you are aware of AE's new requirements this year. Need a min of 5 segments or 10K miles on AC metal to get status with AC.

I'm flying YYZ-CDG on Oct 13th (arriving on the 14th, which is a Friday). This flight will put me past 35k and get me early recognition.
My question is: will this be processed by Aeroplan in time for me to select my benefits and use the upgrade for my flight back to YYZ on the 24th?

Made it to Elite for the very first time! I previously had no status until I made Prestige last year on segments and now I'm looking forward to Elite and *G for my upcoming travel. I have to say I've learned a lot from this forum and I'm sure I still have a lot to learn about lounges and upgrades
