Banner still on the Australian Air Canada page: https://www.aircanada.com/au/en/aco/home.html Detailed landing page at Fast track your way to Aeroplan 50K Status with the HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card says "Offer Dates: September 25, 2023 to June 3, 2024†" Not sure where you were looking...

I seem to recall that I got mine within 48 hours (but may be wrong). You have to confirm your status choice by a certain date (was that 14 days, or a longer period like 45 days), or you're given points instead of status (that was my original planned strategy as I was going to use the points and...

1-a: 25 1-b: Uncertain at this stage. 2: Probably not, but doesn't hurt to start your process from the AC website. There's a big banner to click on. 3: I'll leave that for Star Alliance Rules Experts to confirm, but I'm guessing that if Thai is Star Alliance, then yes, subject to capacity &...

Yeah, that's a lot of money to maintain a card. I've never spent money on an annual fee (for no other benefits other than holding the card), and, up until now, I've not really considered it. Yes, I did have an Amex Platinum for a couple of years, but I made sure I got >> $1450 back in benefits...

Great find. I'm currently waiting for AeroPlan Family Sharing to be re-enabled, to combine 50,000 points for two HSBC Star Alliance accounts together (as well as earned points) and make the most of two HSBC Star Alliance accounts for a year before closing at least one of them. But the bulk of...

I still see this when I go to Family Sharing. If I try to invite someone (Mrs BJReplay), I get this

Great timing - Aeroplan Gold to end 25.

Yes. I haven't transferred any points (didn't want to until I was certain that the bonus points were going to land, and that Aeroplan was going to get Family Pooling working, as I have poor-man's Family Pooling working for Singpore: transfer to Virgin and back to Singapore - at a discount both...

Got my email 11 Dec. My points posted overnight, with a narrative "earned on December 10", so almost bang on 8 weeks after getting status, the points posted. Yes, but it failed as expected. I certainly hope that it is working by the time I am ready to merge the 50,000 points from Mrs...

I think you get gold on the date your statement is due, but I'm not sure, off the top of my head. I wouldn't panic quite yet. Make sure your email is up to date on the star alliance website.

If you read up on accounts being locked, you'll not be surprised. Mrs BJReplay was locked. It took around 8 hours of hold time over about three calls to get her unlocked, and that was an ordeal, only with an (empty, as it turns out) threat that we'd fly united instead if we couldn't access her...

Similar timing for me. Still waiting... I'm showing 50k status in Aeroplan, but no points...

That's the thing: it's not just the flights, it's everything else: whether it's work, conferences, family events, weddings, funerals: you name it, people will miss things. That's why they travel when they probably shouldn't (or aren't certain), and that's why it's difficult to expect cabin crew...

Actually, now that I think about it - I have recently changed my email address for CBA - it used to be [email protected] and I've changed it to [email protected]. One of the reasons I change (not just CBA, but pretty much all addresses) is a) I'm retiring the old mydomain.com.au...

Interesting - it appears that they're relying on email for the notice in your case as well. If the email has failed to be delivered, that's on them, despite their best attempts to contract out of it, as you have no way of knowing that they've attempted to notify you of an email but failed. If...

Yep, always do, before buying, when comparing policies. This trip was previously scheduled for 2020, cancelled (and partially refunded under TI due to covid - there was a brief window when flights were being cancelled but before the WHO declared it was a pandemic, and I claimed for...

Well, sure enough, they've charged me a fee, and I've started off with a chat enquiry rather than a complaint. The chat enquiry (eventually, when I asked for advice about how and when I would have been told about the changes) advised me that I was notified on the last page of my July statement...

When did you meet the threshold / first hit gold? How long was the wait between hitting gold and getting status with Aeroplan and you getting your bonus points? Had you credited any points to Aeroplan, or did you go from 0 to 50,000?

TL;DR; you fly when you're sick because TI says you won't get covered if you're not hospitalised, and your flight is non-refundable. I probably could have (if push came to shove) found accommodation in Reykjavik for 5 or 10 days - but I was still testing positive 10 days later. I could have...

Yeah, I can't remember being notified (and at the time I was waiting to be notified having read the threads / commentary on various sites including this one in real time), and I checked on Monday to confirm - no notices by email, no notices attached to statements. I've got every other notice...
