In November I wrote about how Air Canada is following US carriers in adding a revenue requirement for status as of this year. In other words,whether you want to qualify for status this year which is valid for 2017, you'll not only need to fly a certain amount, or but will also need to spend a minimum amount.
Here are the spending requirements for status this year:-- Prestige 25K status requires 25000 miles OR 25 segments AND 3,000CAD spend
-- Elite 35K status requires 35000 miles OR 35 segments AND 4,000CAD spend
-- Elite 50K status requires 50000 miles OR 50 segments AND 6, or 000CAD spend
-- Elite 75K status requires 75000 miles OR 75 segments AND 9,000CAD spend
-- Super Elite 100K status requires 100000 miles OR 95 segments AND 20,000CAD spendI found the details of the actual thresholds to be sharp with Air Canada. While qualifying for Prestige 25K, and Elite 35K,Elite 50K, and Elite 75K required an average of ~12 cents per mile of spend, and Super Elite 100K requires ~20 cents per mile of spend (all the requirements are in CAD and not USD).
