[Air Canada] Earn Air Canada Altitude P25K status after earning 50K Aeroplan miles. Pretty much any mile qualifies.

Between April 20 and May 31, 2020, when you earn 50,000 Aeroplan Miles through everyday Travel at Home activities, including miles earned on your Aeroplan credit card, you'll receive Altitude Prestige 25K status valid through 2021.

Pretty hot deal considering you can transfer points and it qualifies. This would work if you do the 1:1 transfer from AMEX MR to Aeroplan.

To confirm, if you have 50,000 Aeroplan points accumulated, you are not entitled to the equivalent bonus in the chart below:

Really, what this may mean, is that if you collect any of the points in the Aeroplan Miles Earned column, you will get the bonus related to that mileage you received between April 20 and May 31, 2020? Correct?

Do you think status will be honored by whatever entity emerges from the inevitable bankruptcy of air canada?

As far as airlines go, AC entered the Covid crisis with a very healthy balance sheet.

In the event AC Files for Bankruptcy , Will all the Aeroplan Points Expire Automatically ?? If Air Canada gets aid, the Government of Canada should put in a clause, where the Points will not expire, even if they apply for Bankruptcy protection.

Plus they are not refunding canceled travel fares and dipping into government wage subsidies!

How are RFD'ers trying to earn the 50k points though? For me, I'd need to spend $50k on my TD aero visa, or $33k in groceries within the month.... lol

Welcome bonuses and point transfers both count so I assume most people will go that route to get the 50k points. If I were you I would take a look at the benefits of P25K and see if it is worth it for you.

Credit card sign-up bonuses or transfer points from AMEX.

Do you not still need to earn AQD when reaching Altitude status?
As I understand the promotion... this only solves the AQM part (which at least in my experience has generally been the easier of the 2 to accumulate).
Either way it's a good promotion.

I'm tempted to transfer my Amex points but then I'm worried about the devaluation that is coming. Anyone else thinking the same thing?

Same here. Looking at the P25K benefits it waives carrier surcharges on flight rewards within Canada and the US but from what I heard the changes to Aeroplan will bring dynamic pricing so that benefit might not be useful in the future. Might be useful if you do check bags on your trips/want advance seat selection on non-reward flights but then again not sure if it is worth moving MR to aeroplan.

I was thinking about this but Amex MR points are worth wayyyy too much to waste on this. I guess if you aren’t using them then this is okay.

Unless you already have a substantial amount of Amex MR points, I think it will be tricky to get 50k miles by May 31 through credit card sign up bonuses considering you need to wait to be approved for the card and then wait until the first statement is generated to get your bonus miles.

Yes you would get Air Canada P25K status which is good until the end of 2021 as OP stated.

You need to "earn 50k Aeroplan Miles" to take advantage of this promo - the points in your account do no count towards this (i.e. you would need to sign up for credit cards, earn points using the credit cards, or transfer other points in). Here's the list of the benefit:

I was initially going to apply for a credit card and transfer some MR points in but then looking at the benefits doesn't seem too worth it.
