    • It's clear you can change dates, so I assume you can change routing as long as destination and origin remain?

      I think changing destination and original could possibly work, but there's nothing explicit that I saw in the T&C about that.

    • AC runs their systems on GMT so to be safe, you should have booked everything by July 5th at 20:00 EDT. Anything booked after that will show the booking creation date as July 6th, so you'll need to nicely ask the agent for a waiver and tell them you booked it before midnight in your timezone...

    • FYI the offer is 25% back in redemption for Amex Aeroplan Reserve and 20% back in redemption for the Amex Aeroplan core card. The two cards definitely have a big fee and benefits difference though.
      You have to book your new award/PNR by 3 am EST today (July 5th) and register beforehand. So not much time left but might as well book some cheap latitude fares, I did 6 ORD-YYZ for 20K-22K AP and $8 in taxes each.
      That way if I want to take some trips later this year I'll be able to take advantage of the one free change rule (for awards booked before the end of July 5th) and get 25% back.

    • P4, with AP Reserve, booked around 100K r/t flights x 3 people for about ~303K
      at 25% that's 75000 AP returned

      Now debating maybe keeping the Aeroplan Reserve card at $599 renewal in July
      vs. gambling (close AP Reserve, save $599, open new AMEX Aeroplan, pay $120 fee) as the T&C didn't "force" payment on the AP Reserve or AP card, just saying account needs to be "active"
      "Your Card Account and Aeroplan account must be open and in good standing at the time the Offer is fulfilled for the Aeroplan points back to be awarded"

    • multiple trips work? ie different itinerary
      or only the first one
      There's no mention of any redemption limit, so multiple trips should work as long as you meet the requirements (ie: have an Amex Aeroplan card tied to your account, registered to promo, and travel completed by 3am EST Dec 31 2022).

    • So I just applied for an AMEX card minutes ago. And at the end of the application it said I could get my number vs wait for it in the mail. To add to a digital wallet, start using it right away etc. (will make a purchase at mcd's or something just to make sure)


      So I am guessing I am good to go now? I had already registered my aeroplan number. So here is hoping!

      I think it's fine, as long as you tell them up front (and like who'll get the meals or who gets to "sleep") so they know you are not double dipping :P

    • Aeroplan members (25k-75k) are only allowed to use eUpgrades on themselves and one other person on the flight. If you make a reservation of 3+ it won’t offer you the option to upgrade at all with eUPs. It’s one of the pitfalls of the new system.

      100k+ members are allowed member+2 people and your allowed to nominate someone so they’re allowed to use the upgrade without you on the flight or make it a total of 4 people.

      I’ve only used the upgrades a couple times, someone correct me if I’m wrong.
      Thank you for the explanation. By saying "pitfalls of the new system", do you mean they previously allowed for more than 2?

    • Thanks for sharing. Did you apply the eupgrades by calling AC or you upgraded online via the AC website?

      I have Amex Reserve, too, but we are a family of 4. The flights showed eupgradable but I couldnot use my eupgrade credit online(showing "not available"). I called AC and got the email confirmation email while on hold, but later CSR told me I was not eligible because I could only upgrade up to 1 person(in addition to myself). Today my upgrade was gone, and I am totally confused. Will call AC again.

      My first time hearing "nominate" concept, too.

    • I'm 25K and I also have an Amex Reserve card. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I didn't nominate anyone (not sure what that means to be honest). I just filtered my flight search for eUpgrade-ability. The inbound flight was eligible and outbound was listed as waitlist. So I booked and requested eUpgrades immediately after booking.

      I should also mention that the second traveller is not part of an Aeroplan family and isn't even an Aeroplan member, despite my efforts.

      Just booked my trip in September.

      I plan on cancelling my Amex Aeroplan Reserve prior to my travel dates. Late July is my anniversary date and I don't plan on renewing.

      Do I still get points even if the card was cancelled prior to the travel date completion?
      From the T&C - "Your Card Account and Aeroplan account must be open and in good standing at the time the Offer is fulfilled for the Aeroplan points back to be awarded.", so no.
      It didn't say you need to book or have the card NOW at registration and T&C just says you need an ACTIVE card at travel
      so I think it's a valid workaround

      My P4 faces the same issue - AP Reserve renews $599 in July, flying in Sep 2022. He may apply via GCR for regular Aeroplan AMEX $120 - $60 credit

      Yes, thanks for the reminder. That's the only thing that is stopping me, other option might be to move the dates by a day or which are available at the moment.

      i represent the lion's share (read 100%) of the funding of the pool, and am an amex reserve cardholder. but the redemption technically comes from our family pool.
      will i only get a pro-rated amount refunded? any data points from the TD promo last year?
      I am also the rep for the family, and my share is about 90%+, all redemptions (and refund upon cancellation) is prorated based on my share so far.
