Maximizing United experience as AC / Aeroplan customer?

Hey all.

Travel very frequently on AC (SE) but rarely ON United. Two dumb questions on the best way to manage upcoming long haul with United:

- Do you create a United account? App keeps prompting me to make one, but I want to make sure points get credited to my AC account.

- How do you add a Credit Card? In the past, onboard purchases were CC only and require a US address

Thanks!

Zero NA -> Asia Business Class Availability?

Hi everyone,

I mostly use Aeroplan arbitrage for routes between East Coast US -> Asia (SIN, DEL, etc.) and I'm shocked that Biz availability is completely naught rn? Is this bc of the war or something else?

Baggage delay

So my wife is a new immigrant coming to Canada and her checked baggage is delayed by 2 days. She landed on Sunday and the person said bag will be delivered on Monday.

She doesn’t have clothes, shoes etc. I am seeing that I can buy stuff that is reasonable and claim it.

  1. I bought the ticket for her so would that be an issue

  2. Also if I buy things for her on my card then will that be an issue?

  3. How can I claim the expenses?

I’m unable to create a missing baggage file as it says, “Unable to locate delayed baggage file with provided information.”

Aeroplan Baggage Query

Hi all, I am booking an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Vancouver for 2 people. The baggage allowed is showing as 0. I have two TD Aeroplan Visa cards.

With 1 card, there is 1 free baggage provided. So can I make the booking for 2 people with 0 baggage allowed and then at the airport use my 2 cards to claim 2 free baggage ?

Pre-devaluation bookings

I’m looking at a Pacific region 2001-5000 miles business booking on Thai for 45k. The flight I need isn’t until October and seem to release ~90 days out pretty consistently, but it will be past the June 1 devaluation date. Is there anything I should be doing now? Can I book now and change the date when it releases, but keep the price? I’m reading different things about how re-pricing works. Thanks!

Does Anyone Operate the Phones?

I'm honestly wondering at this point. I call the 1-800-361-5373 number and I don't think I have ever actually gotten off hold before getting busy with something and having to hang up. Once they also gave me the "provide you number and we will call you back" option and then no one ever called me back. Is this an issue others have also experienced, and if so, are there any tricks to actually getting on the line with someone (i.e. maybe a different number or calling at a certain time?) Thanks!

Has anyone else had an issue where they selected a reward and suddenly their SQC dropped? I have a priority reward from earlier this month. Forgive me if it’s user error.

what does the percentage indicate? duration of total trip in actual business class?

Looking to book a business class trip with aeroplan points converted from Amex points. Going from Canada to Ireland, with a stop in the US for a connecting flight. What's confusing is that the box in the image above is in the "business class" column but when you hover over the box, it indicates this percentage in business class. What does this mean? That only the first leg of the trip is on business? And the main flight from US to Ireland will be in economy?

TIA!

First time in business class… seat recommendation?

Hi everyone! It’s my first time flying business, and I’m super excited about it! I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for seats?

I’m currently seated in 2K. I thought rows 8 and 9 seemed too close to the bathroom. Wasn’t sure if there are downsides to the seats in rows 10 and 11?

Would love to hear thoughts!

Thank you!

Login 2FA (didn't find any relevant posts in search)

As i mentioned in the title, there's no relevant answer in the search or megathread. Is there a way to "always" be logged in?

Everytime i log in to Aeroplan, i have to resend the user code. I understand if i'm away for 30 minutes, my computer/phone goes to sleep or something, but is there a way to "stay logged in"

Every single time I want to log in, i have to reinitialize, send a verification code, etc

I know it's a 15 second process, but just wondering

Lack of bookings

Is anyone else finding that it’s harder to find points bookings? I’ve been searching for flights for my father from YVR to CPT and it keeps coming back with no available flights.

Raptors game Aeroplan draw / contest

I managed to win the contest at Scotia arena, it’s a large amount of points and they said it would be deposited into my account within a day. It’s been a few days and I’ve yet to receive any text or confirmation from them. Does anyone have experience with this?

SFO Maple leaf lounge

**SFO Maple Leaf Lounge Access**

I have the Amex Reserve card and 25K Aeroplan status, and I’m flying United today from SFO to YYZ. Last year, I was denied entry to the Maple Leaf Lounge even though my card and Aeroplan number were linked to my reservation.

What can I do this time to make sure I won’t run into the same issue?

Why 1 hour b4 boarding no seers when 3 unsold?

Eups usually 30 minutes before boarding. Why an hour before boarding 3 unsold tickets but the seat map shows full?

Anyone seeing the new fare brands on Air Canada

I'm seeing new fares on PY and J cabins. Standard and latitude instead of the usual lowest and flexible. Was there anything in the news recently? I see the same for revenue fares as well.

Seems like a new fare brand change, similar to when comfort came out.

Exclusive upgrade offer questions

I just got this offer in the mail and had a couple questions. We do have an all-inclusive TD account and am familiar with the rebate. We also plan on booking air Canada flights in September to get that $300 statement credit. Please let me know if this offer is worth it

The offer is for my wife who is the primary cardholder for a current TD visa infinite card while I am the secondary cardholder. Since there is a steep fee for this card we were thinking of upgrading just the primary cardholder and leaving the secondary cardholder as the Visa Infinite. Is this possible?

We have a couple flights booked in October with the infinite card and am wondering if we upgrade to privilege and get a new one will we still be allowed the free checked baggage benefit?

Part of this bonus is 30k pts at the end of the year. I was planning on cancelling after one year and going back to visa infinite since that has no fee, however if I cancel at exactly one year will I get the anniversary bonus and avoid the credit card fee for the next year?

Thanks
