Great, thanks, I've cut it really close for a friend's account.
If the Esso points don't post fast enough, am I right that either buying more points, or paying to transfer from mine, is pretty much instantaneous (i.e. same-day)?
Thanks again!

transferring miles
yes ALW, when I did this, it showed up instantly on my account, and the next day on the account I was transferring miles to.

Tangoer,
Read it again; you tell me.
“ As announced in Oct 2006, Aeroplan has changed its account expiry policy: effective July 01, 2007, Aeroplan Members must have made and continue to make at least one qualifying transaction-either by earning or redeeming miles-every 12 months in order to avoid the closure of their Aeroplan account and expiration of their miles”
May 15 to July 01.......and the answer is?
obviously, you must be one of Aeroplan staff.

Esso points usually post the next day, and I've even seen them post the same day. Now why can't Aeroplan do that?

So the question remains, why didn't you do something to stop losing your points?
If someone came to me and said "you have 6 weeks to secure your property or I'm going to have it confiscated for not following the rules" I wouldn't plan on doing something about it 8 weeks later and expect a different outcome than the outcome you received.

"Good news! Effective October 16, 2006, expired miles are eligible for reinstatement up to 7 years following the last
accumulation or redemption transaction in the account,
whichever is later. You may reinstate a portion or
all of your expired miles for an administrative fee
of C$30 plus C$0.01 per mile reinstated (plus any applicable taxes).
Reinstated miles will be available for redemption for 7
years from the date of reinstatement as long as you remain active in the program."(Statement from the student thread from another poster).

If I could get a genie to grant me three wishes, my first would be to see AC go bye-bye!

So Simon, you'd rather be screwed and treated like a worthless, pain in AC's and AP's backside? With an attitude like that, no wonder they get away with what they do...

Technically, isn't it aeroplan not AC which is at fault here?
We can't fault the airline.
I have read so many sob stories about how people have lost thousands and thousands of miles, I can't believe that there hasn't been more of an outcry.
It didn't affect me because I have CIBC aeroplan visa but it did affect my cousins. They were late by 18 days and aeroplan is playing hardball with them.
They have flown with AC for over 35 years but for their loyalty, they got nothing...just a bill for $30 and one cent per mile reinstatement.

Except I'm not. And if I have to pay for some fees for this and that, then yes, I would most definitely prefer that to sitting in 32" pitch 737 seats on all flights of all lengths.

1+1 Aeroplan points are in the account as of now, dated Oct 24. Don't know if they hit the account on the 24th or the 25th.
Thanks everyone!

[pumping the gas was like a Rapidair flight, no cruising. Just as the pump was getting up to speed, it slowed down again (I'd preset it to exactly $3
)].=aw

Until ACE removes itself from control of the boards of all the ACE units (including AC, Jazz, Aeroplan, etc) and removes itself from any other way in the appointment of the executive officers of each of the units it is all one big corporate entity from a management perspective. The business strategy, attitude to customer service and internal accountability flows from the top. You can therefore rightly blame any or all of ACE, AC and Aeroplan for the problems.
