Welcome to another week of travel rewards news, bonuses and more on RC! The latter half has
vacation included so there may lack in updates depending on our family’s
schedule!
News, Tips & Tricks
WestJet announced their winter schedule today and includes some new routes. The one of note is Toronto to Boston with WestJet Encore! Good to see another U.S. city in their network, hopefully it works for them as they have to compete with Air Canada and Porter. Halifax also gets one daily flight to Boston! Also announced is the return of Calgary to Ft. Lauderdalem new routes from three Canadian cities to Orlando and a few other sun destination routes. Find out more here, here and here.
A few different airline programs are sending out invites to their members for instant Hilton HHonors Gold
Status (I’ve received it from Alitalia MilleMiglia and Saudia
Alfursan). This is a great offer if you don’t have Gold status as it
gets you the status until October 31st and extends it to March 2017 if
you complete 3 separate stays by October 31st. The offer also includes an up to
Quadruple Miles bonus for those stays. BE CAREFUL however if you already have Hilton
HHonors Gold or Diamond Status as it specifically states you’ll drop
down to Gold if you are Diamond or if you are Gold and don’t meet the
stay requirements by Oct 31st you’ll lose that status. I almost
jumped on it but I have Gold Status until March 31st 2016 and am pretty
sure I will not be able to complete this challenge by Oct 31st which
means I would lose out on the status between Oct 31 and Mar 31.
