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.

What are your thoughts on this latest addition to the WestJet Rewards program? Are you going to credit you Delta flights to WestJet or will you continue with crediting them to SkyMiles, other SkyTeam partners or even Alaska Airlines?
