Reporting back on receiving DL SkyMiles credit on an AirMiles redemption. As others have mentioned, I did indeed accumulate SkyMiles on my DL AirMiles award redemption. RDM's earned on the basis of distance, not cost. This was a first for me, as my previous AirMiles AC redemptions, attributed to Aeroplan, earned nada.

Datapoints on MBNA Alaska card churning?
ie) Just signed up / instantly approved for the WE Mastercard.
Will meet min spend, get points.
How long should I wait after cancelling to apply for the other card (the Platinum Plus Mastercard) ?
Or re-appklying for the WE?
Cheers,

My question was more regarding if you hold the MBNA Alaska WE and cancel, if anyone knows of a safe "gap" before applying for the other product MBNA Alaska card (Platinum Plus or whatever its called).

That wording has always been there. They just change the date every year. Here's a similar post from 2017:
Aeroplan "Terms & Conditions"... program end date. Error?

Good points. Thank you.
You're right; they've picked "December 14" every year, and extended it every year.
Although this might be the year it doesn't get extended again.

Get 125 Aeroplan miles
Offer ends in 2 days
Sign up with AskingCanadians before August 29, 2019, and complete 1 consumer product survey by September 16, 2019, to earn 125 Aeroplan Bonus Miles.*
https://www.askingcanadians.com
... It's not a lot of miles, but this might be a good way to keep a dormant Aeroplan account active. Maybe you or a family member could earn a few miles to avoid expiry.
