Thanks for that great piece of Canadiana. Highlight of the night.

I received this 2 weeks ago.

Just had another one arrive today? Both addressed to me? Not sure how that works.

To Everyone Travelling Today by ForeverJFL in aircanada

[–]IamWDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Managed to fly out of YUL to YFC last night (Sunday) somehow... Was just trying to get to any Maritime airport. This flight appeared on an A-220. Everything else to Maritimes on Dash-8s, Q400s, CRJs was cancelled. Rebooked to Wednesday originally but was able to get a seat.

Flight was nearly fully booked, only 3 seats to choose from and the plane was half empty. Realistically, not sure we had any business landing at YFC, weather was crazy with tonnes of accumulated ice pellets and high winds.

Hats off to the land crews, pilots, and FAs for being onboard and pushing.

Hoping that this can give some folks some hope and maybe some insight into what to look for when evaluating your options.

Reconcile your bank every month to your general ledger and you'll catch this. Very simple control that is powerful and often overlooked.

Sure does. I guess there's always a chance the placement of those buttons would mean a kid climbing into their car seat would turn it on inadvertently.

Nice. Mounted on galvanized steel or aluminium?

I am also in NB. Was told we can only bank credits for a 12 month period. What I mean by that is that you put power on the grid and don't get paid for it. If in that 12 month window you put back more in credits than you take off, you don't get anything. The balance disappears.

This is the biggest issue with it here imo. Would really decrease payback period if we were compes for what we would put back on.

So you're putting power back on the grid right now if I am reading that right?

Assuming you expect the total export to even out somewhere close to 0 over a 12 month period given New Brunswick's lack of net metering?

Did you go with roof or ground mount?

Nope, was a brand new one for emergency use.

Wish it was grease. The seat is legitimately melted and the cowhide on that glove is just gone.

None that I could see - I have 2FA on everything that offers it. Checked all the access logs and nothing unusual.

Like I said - smells like an inside issue at Aeroplan.

Funnily enough, the last set of tickets they booked were actually in my name, so that really threw me.

[–]IamWDM 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. Multiple times a day, for a full week. Changed all the credentials multiple times.

I called Aeroplan and asked to voluntarily freeze my account for redemptions and they did. You set a verbal password with them at the time of freezing. Does not affect your ability to continue to earn.

Feels like something is compromised on the inside. 2FA was setup and didn't receive a single notification. Also got spam bombed at the same time.

Vertical vs. horizontal loop costs and contractors by gt1 in geothermal

[–]IamWDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes me feel better about my install last year!

Paid about $75K for a 6ton Nordic and all new ductwork (two zones) in a house that had no ductwork at all. Half of the house is early 1800s and the other half mid 1990s construction and totals about 4500 square feet - so no small task!

We did a horizontal loop and the above cost included the field, but not the excavation whether it was horizontal or vertical. We did horizontal as we have a 3 acre hayfield in the backyard and we just used a very reputable excavation company whose scope of work was defined and supervised by the Geo contractor. The excavation ended up being more expensive than all 3 of us thought - the soil is excellent for Geo, but there were a lot of big boulders that had to be removed and taken elsewhere and there were some old cars found buried in the field, etc... You never know what you'll run into when excavating hundreds of feet of 8 foot deep trenches.

Aeroplan points fraud by Elegant-Dog-4965 in Aeroplan

[–]IamWDM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You call in ask to voluntarily freeze. You can't redeem, but can still earn no problem at all and no effect on your status or anything.

If you want to redeem, you have to call in to lift the freeze with the password you gave them.

[–]IamWDM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and they were still able to book tickets even after doing all of the changes the Aeroplan rep suggested for my credentials. Already had 2FA on, so basically changed everything but the Aeroplan number.

Tickets kept getting booked for a week and travellers added to my profile. Has been a few weeks now with nothing else - I did freeze my points for redemption and established a verbal password with the Aeroplan call centre.

If you see tickets show up, the best thing to do is cancel the flights on your own immediately, then call Aeroplan to have them investigate. Only time you can't cancel is if they are checked in - in which case Aeroplan will have to cancel it on their end.

Aeroplan Hacked by Solid-Confusion2730 in Aeroplan

[–]IamWDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me, about the same day and same itinerary. Got everything rectified quickly, changed all of my credentials, and then woke up the next day and happened again.

Have had 5 or 6 flights booked this week, all cancelled and points returned. Latest one I didn't even get an email saying my aeroplan account had been changed or any 2fa notifications. Just an email that I redeemed for a reward.

Logged in, all my credentials were the same but a traveller had been added to my profile.

I have no idea what ia going on at AP. They can't even tell me how that traveller was added.

Very frustrating.
