@Bmriel: I still have nothing either (qualified 25 November) - same as you guys, have called Air Canada several times, allegedly had a case escalated by a supervisor - concerningly the last rep I spoke to said she could see the 50k Elite Status offer but not the 50k points part! Wow. With several of us (just on this forum) - when will the penny drop with them that something is wrong? I like the idea of ACCC - they are clearly now in breach of their own terms and conditions.
