Yesterday, there were multiple reports of people already getting their status upgraded and as I was one of the people that took advantage of the promotion on the first day, I logged in to see my status had been upgraded from Elite 35K to Elite 50K!
I was able to go in and select my Altitude Privilege benefits, of which I chose:
- 50% Altitude Bonus Bonus with Air Canada and select airline partners: Choose this Select Privilege and earn 50% Bonus Aeroplan Miles on eligible flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express, Air Canada Rouge, Copa Airlines and United. Also earn a 25% bonus on eligible flights operated by Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss.
- 20 eUpgrade Credits: 20 eUpgrade Credits will be deposited into your aircanada.com eUpgrade account. Credits can be used on eligible flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge in order to upgrade to premium cabins.
- 8 eUpgrade Credits for eligible Flight Pass activities: For every eligible Flight Pass activity, eUpgrade Credits will be deposited into your aircanada.com eUpgrade account. Credits can be used on eligible flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge in order to upgrade to premium cabins.
I would expect that my membership card and luggage tag will be in the mail shortly and I’m very much looking forward to receiving that package!
Conclusion
I am thoroughly impressed with Air Canada’s Altitude Program during this pandemic and I’m very pleased with how quickly they have been able to process these upgrades. I know that many people have taken advantage of the Prestige 25K offer which required 50K Aeroplan Miles to be earned, or deposited during the promotional period. Be sure to check your account and make your Privilege selections as they are automatically chosen for you if you do not make your selections.
Hi Jayce, thank you for the great info! How to make privilege selection? Is this selection making under aircanada.com or aeroplan.com?
HI Sam, the selections can be found at on your Dashboard on https://altitude.aircanada.com/. Cheers
Thanks Jayce! I guess the selections can be made when I have more than 50K points earned/transferred. I don’t have that option still when I login to the link above.
Hi Jayce, I did a Marriot/Aeroplan transfer a week ago – AP points showed up right away but thus far no activity listed on the Altitude dashboard – any thoughts?
Hi Rob,
I expect that Air Canada is processing these upgrades in batches. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I have full confidence that you will receive your Altitude status if you transferred the required amount of miles. Cheers
