Apparently this launched on November 20th but we didn’t find out about
it until we got an email yesterday from WestJet. WestJet continues to
grow the WestJet Rewards program as they slowly add more partners. Delta
Airlines is now the second airline partner of the program after
American Airlines that you can earn WestJet Rewards dollars on. At this
time there is still no news about being able to redeem WestJet Dollars
for flights on their partner airlines.

The Dollar earning for flights on Delta is the same as American Airlines
and is based upon distance flown and the fare class your ticket is
booked into. As you can see by the chart you will earn anywhere from 3
to 15 WestJet dollars per Delta flight.

It is nice to see more airline partners being added to the WestJet
Rewards programs. The only thing we are waiting for is the ability to
redeem WestJet Dollars on these partner airlines! If that becomes a
reality then the almighty WestJet Dollar will becoming way more valuable
since you’d have access to flights around the globe to redeem for. This
new earning option is also a potentially good choice for disgruntled
Delta SkyMiles members here in Canada because of all the negative
changes happening to that program in 2015.

You can read more about earning WestJet Dollars on Delta flights here.

As of
January 1st 2015 you’ll be able to earn Delta SkyMiles on WestJet
flights. We also didn’t mention that techincally you can redeem your
WestJet Reward dollars on certain Delta flights. Those flights are the
ones where WestJet codeshares on and your ticket is actually issued as a
WestJet ticket (not Delta). Here is the SkyMiles earning chart for
flying on WestJet:

InterContinental Hotels Group has agreed to acquire the Kimpton
Hotels brand of boutique hotels. There are few details yet outside of

become an IHG Rewards Club earn and burn option (well

and the services it provides may be diluted. Only time will tell. Find out more about the acquisition here. (Source: TravelBloggerBuzz)
