Any SEs receive tragetted promotions yet?

Posted on Jan 06, 2009 under xn--zqqs84h3is.com | edit
  • Last year at this time, I received a letter offering me a 25% bonus for the all important status miles on all flights since I was identified as falling back from my SE renewal level. So far this year, I have not received (yet!) the same promotion but I am hoping and expecting one since AC has had such a disasterous year. Has anyone else received such a bonus offer on Status miles.

    Nope.

    I can tell you as a fact that the chances of being given a targetted promotion when you've gotten one last year is extremely slim. The selection criteria for such promotion do include previous years' activity and travel patterns. AC recognizes that fact that you might travel less for any given year for various reasons which is why they use targetted promotion to 'help you out'. So you can't expect to get such promotion every year.

    Empress, does AC use a program with pre set algorithms to select atrgets? Presumably, algorithms would be modified to reflect overall conditions (economy, strokes etc.).

    So if you want to requalify for SE, you better plan to fly the true 100K Q miles. You don't want to be relying on such promotion and then find yourself short of 100K when Dec comes around.


  • You don't want to be relying on such promotion and then find yourself short of 100K when Dec comes around.Forget December!

    If you don't have 8K by the end of January, 16K by the end of February, 24K by the end of March, etc, then you need to take decisive action then. Waiting until December, or even Labour Day, is a huge mistake just waiting to happen.

  • May be interested! I am doing a buz trip to BKK in October, and perhaps one to Australia in November, so that should take me to the target, but still could be interested. The UAL rates out of ORD cannot be beat, even in H for upgrades! BKK comes out at about $950US.

    Don't push it, Shareholder.


  • Thank you for this encouraging information, Empress. As the official Laura Cookesque spokesperson for Aeroplan on FT, it is good that you know such intimate details of how these targeted promotions work and can share them with us.

    Perhaps, 100,000miler would like to join us on some SIN Runs this fall, after doing a JAZZ Segment Run to get that 8K in status miles. That UA C$1000 fare ex-ORD is still available until the 16th of September.


  • YYZ-SIN on UA is pricing out at $1,360 CDN for October for anyone interested in joining the party!


  • Does UA offer similiar low fares/mileage run fares to HKG in the fall? If so, I might be interested.
