interesting! any idea how long it should take for the onyx card to get shipped out? I hit onyx status last fall (maybe Oct, good through 2018) but haven't gotten a card yet.You will, they will be mailed out automatically. Welcome to the dark side (black cards)
Didnt know they were broadcasting it. I tried calling the papers but being sunday no answer. If they were broadcasting while i was there i would have said somethinf on air for sure. Will call the papers and town mondayWe listen to CHFI and they were broadcasting from that store yesterday and i thought to myself "Can't wait to hear from @mort1331 the REAL story of this "amazing event" I sure hope you did follow thru and call the paper, that's not good!!
Congratulations!!!! Wonder if we get new "Onyx" Air Miles cards?

Thanks for the info...I'm excited to join the Dark Side!!!!! Not sure if it will make a difference for me but excited that my AM collecting this past year has paid off....
It's always rewarding to reach a milestone.
I just noticed all your stays in your signature. We're off to stay at POP again in May. Can't wait, its such a nice resort.
I would call Air Canada and ask if you can book him as OVER 2 since you want a seat and then later call back and alter his age? How old will he be at the time of your flight? Personally think that's stupid, who cares how old the person is that you want to book a seat for" When searching on the AirCanada website i noticed that you need an approved child restraint for a child under 2 if you pay for a seat.I am so frustrated with airmiles. I saved up all these airmiles to use to book our summer vacation flights. My son is under 2, but want to book him his own seat because he is such a wiggle worm and it's Air Canada Rouge. I went to make the booking today and I can't book a seat for him with airmiles. I can book him as a lap infant but cannot book a seat for him. I did a live chat and they told me their system does not allow under 2's to book a seat. I was told I could use airmiles to purchase my seat and my husband's seat and then to call Air Canada to purchase a cash seat for my son and they would then link the reservation together. Has anyone done this? I am a bit apprehensive doing this. It is just so silly I can't use airmiles to purchase a seat for an infant.

Has anyone else had their STB bonus miles included in their count towards ONYX or Gold status. I've been watching my account and when I do a quick reconciliation the 1900AM from STB are not included in the total. Ultimately I guess it doesn't make a difference I was just under the impression that they were going to count towards our 2017 totals.
The Duck is so much faster than I. I knew it was somewhere because we had discussions about it on this thread about how it would be a great boost to next year.From the STB FAQs, which i saved for future reference -- the link is still active luckily! I'm really hating this promotion more and more as time passes.

So lots of fun online chat with AM about the points counting towards status. Long and short of it was that first they tried to say they did not count. I copy and pasted from their own website FAQ for STB and sent that to them. They go, "hmm by that wording it should count, let me see". They have sent it upstairs and will get back to me. LOL we will wait till the end of the month.
