Hi All
I think I know the answer already, but am hopeful I am wrong!
I started the year 2012 with SE status. I just passed 50 segments, and was wondering if I get an early 2013 Elite package - Select priviledges (looking for more Upgrade credits).
Or is the January package I chose it for the year?
Seems like a disadvantage to start a year with status...
Fingers crossed.

If you've got 2012 SE status you aren't eligible for any early 2013 qualifications. You can only early qualify for tiers above your current level (if you're P you can early qualify for E then SE; if you're E you can early qualify for SE).

2013 levels (50k, 75k) do not apply to this year.

Status hit June 3rd
Package mailed June 8
Received June 15
E-ups in account June 4, EXCEPR missing threshold creds (and I will fight them on this). Earned 10 for the 20k threshold as "prestige" - i'll be darned if they try to argue i'm not eligible for 10 at 20k for instant elite. Sorry AC, but your charts don't lie. as an elite you earn 10 at 20k --- if i earned instant elite---- you owe me 10 at 20k, on top of the 10 i earned at 20k as a prestige.
call me greedy, but it doesn't say anywhere I'm not entitled...

You're not going to win that one. It says "Earn 35,000 Air Canada Status Miles and move up to 2012 Elite Status*" It doesn't say "Instantly move up to Elite Status while receiving the same benefit a second time." Good luck though!

As an elite, at 20k, I'm owed 10 creds. Regardless of whether I earned them as prestige.... that would be denying an elite a benefit they are entitled to....
Gonna fight them on this one!

Let's say you hit SE on October 1st. What will you request then?

Before getting early E, were you a prestige member or non-status?
If the former, you'll certainly get the threshold credits (once).
If the latter,good luck, but you're not entitled under the program.
If fighting gets you somewhere, telling us about it here may ignite a storm of sorts.

Question: I fly mostly in the U.S. on United or US Air. Got my 25k status miles in April but with only 3 mandatory Air Canada segments. I have now 36k status miles and just completed the 5 AC segments 2 weeks ago but the website still saying I do not qualify for any top tier status. Is that correct?

Based on my recent experience, the website changed to Elite very soon (immediately?) after I passed 35k status miles. I had about 20 segments but that shouldn't matter.
On mine there is a green checkmark under my miles and segments which presumably indicate I have satisfied the AC Minimum Requirements. Do you have at least one checkmark?

I don't think so based on this page: http://www.aircanada.com/en/aeroplan/toptier.html
It says "or" (and that you can qualify on miles and satisfy AC minimum on segments).

If the website shows >= 35k status miles and >= 5 segments you should have Elite.

I finally got the Elite status on the website on June 22, but have yet to receive the package. Got couple of emails each saying I got 10 eUpgrade credits but the EUP account shows 0.
