I made the mistake of signing up for ACAT instead of ACAQ. Has anyone tried and succeeded to change an ACAT promotion into an ACAQ?

I tried myself and was told the ACAQ promotion requires a Canadian mailing address.

I signed up for ACAQ online. I used my standard US address and had NO problems. I'd suggest you call back and ask again. Don't mention you called earlier!

Do both ACAQ and ACAT have the same expiration date for GOLD status (9/2004) ?

Regarding retroactive posting: I was told that they only go back 30 days. Have you been credited for stays longer than 30 days under the new ACAQ promo?

Yes, three of my stays which I got credited were Oct 23 to 26th, registered on 11/28.

Thanks OP! I created a new account, did the online merge with my existing Diamond account. Next day, my account is still Diamond (sigh of relief) and shows the four bonuses from my previous stays for a total of 50,000 points.

Can you sign up for ACAT as well and do another merge after already signing up for ACAQ?
</font>
I just had them add the promo code to my existing (Diamond) account. No Canadian address or even Aeroplan Number needed (see my post above). My first stay is next week, second stay just after Xmas, was planning on leisurely adding two more stays before the promo ends which I had thought was 2/15.

The Diamond desk seems to be confused on this one - different agents require different things (Canadian address, AC number, expiration date, etc.)

The idea of getting both promos seems to be do-able - complete the ACAQ promo in December (or already have it done, as some of you apparently have). Then sign up for the ACAT and do that one for another 25K, before Jan 15.

If someone does it, or if they tell you it's impossible (even after the multiple hangup/call back trick), please let us know. A nice 75K net would sure be a nice way to start off the new year, eh wot?

Would there be any reason to select the ACAT for 25,000 hh over the 50,000 hh for ACAQ??

I would be careful about being greedy...getting one bonus that you weren't even targetted for should be good enough. To my knowledge, nobody was legitimately sent both offers...

Wait, does ACAQ and ACAT have different promo end dates? I'm signed up for ACAQ and I thought that it ends Feb. 15th. I have one more stay left that I'm planning on doing in mid-Jan.

I have no idea what the dates are, but when I checked to see if I was properly registered for ACAQ I was told that I had until January 31 to make the 4 stays. Since I signed up on ~Nov 24 I presume it's not just a 60 day thing and that the ACAQ promo ends on Jan 31.

The first post on this thread states that the closing date is February 15, 2004. Can anyone confirm the closing date of this promo? Anyone doing their forth stay in February could be very disappointed if they are planning their forth stay and January 31st turns out to be the closing date.

I called HHonors today and they said that the ACAQ promo ends Jan. 31st, 2004...for my account anyway. Just for the record, I would have called in the first place but didn't have my account number available

Just completed my second stay with the promotion, got 5000 points again on the second stay....for a total of 10,000 bonus points. Where is the 10,000 for the second stay? Will I get 5,000 more for the 3rd or just another 5000? Anyone has the same run into the same problem?
