WestJet Rewards launched a new campaign last week for their elite members. Think of this as their version of AC’s Earn Your Wings promotion that is targeted to elite AC Altitude members. The Race for Rewards
promotion sees Silver and Gold Elite members earn points for each
flight taken with WestJet and when you hit certain levels you’ll earn
bonus WestJet dollars and other benefits like lounge and inflight internet passes Also the first member each month to hit a set higher level gets a free trip for two! That’s a pretty sweet bonus to try to hit!
