Altitude focuses on status with AC, which provides elite status benefit, the only way to credit miles to is by physically flying, in one calendar year.

Aeroplan is the regular loyalty rewards program which gives you miles to redeem for thing you want, sources of miles are mainly coming from partners and the airline itself, it does not give you the elite status no matter how many miles you accumulated in one calendar year.

Won’t matter in a few months when they merge into one

I think there’s something about aeroplan being administered by a third party but they’re rolling into normal plan soon.

AC bought AP out from Aimia together with banks

According to their website...
Altitude miles are the qualifying miles on AC (and other Star Alliance member airlines) needed to earn status on AC / SA member airlines. These miles are also Aeroplan miles, which are the redeemable miles used for Aeroplan rewards.

Then I gave up and try to book on AA, AA also have some cc benefit so I applied too. AA rejected me immediately.
