Any other European dest or Asia that will be on promo?
Am SE and will be flying YYZ-FRA-BCN on Tues and back on Fri BCN-MUC-YYZ all in J and then onto IND on Friday...will also be doing YYZ-YVR-HKG Nov 29 retruning Dec 3 HKG-YVR-YYZ...hoping for promos...will hit SE again this year with these flights... 
Service with AC this year improving in some areas...really bad in others - especially baggage...and also the aircraft equip is in terrible shape and the switch over to the new interiors has been long and tedious.

As of 11am ET telephone registration is not functioning. Only promos offered are regional domestic bonuses.
Not sure why people are surprised these are not status miles...there has not been a status mile bonus in years. Anyhow, this is pretty much the bonus I forecast last week in that thread on 4thQ bonuses.

Of course, AC's website is pathetic in that one cannot book any of these eligible fares (or upgradeable for that matter) if you default to the "lowest fare" option on multi-segment mode. Tried to see about adding LHR to a YEG trip later in the fall but I can only get it to book in E-class for YYZ-YEG and A-class for YEG-LHR-YYZ segments. Default to "flexible economy" and you're into the stratosphere of M and Y fares! Totally pathetic AC...get you're act together and let us book upgradeable fares with a default choice!!!!!!
If you're going to offer fares that are non-status mile/non-upgradeable then let us default out of them. Get your act together, AC.

But YEG-LHR nonstop and 16978 AP miles total, as per GCM, all for CAD$900 all in ain't bad. ^

Ya know I understand that AC is selling a product here but perhaps there is value, as well, in the airline being crystal clear in describing what the promotion actually entitles people to recieve at the end of the day!
Cheers.

Yes, but many people might think that this also means "Q'" miles as well.
This is a case where fine print would come in handy!
