November 26 Update: Hilton HHonors status match, Amex Amazon $10 credit offer, WestJet leases 767 for Hawaii service

Even though it’s Thanksgiving in the U.S. there is still lots of news to bring you today!

News, Tips & Tricks

If you hold Elite status with a hotel program other than Hilton HHonors you can get that status matched by Hilton. (Source FlyerTalk)

“We’ve been receiving a number of requests and yes, we do match status
from other programs and we’d love to be your travel home.

  1. We are matching status for 2016. To make sure you’re all set for
    the year, please submit your request by January 11, 2016. You’ll enjoy
    that status through March 2017.
  2. All you need is something that shows your elite tier in another program and an HHonors number.
  3. Email us at HHonorMyStatus@hilton.com and we’ll help get you started.”

Check your email for a great offer from American Express. They’ll give you a $10 statement credit if you spend $10 or more at Amazon.ca. This means you could potentially get something small completely free! For example, order a $10 eGift Card! This is a targeted offer so we won’t provide a link, just check your email as that’s where we got it!

Air Canada is offering a 10% off flights code if you buy $500 or more of Air Canada Gift Cards by Dec 1. Find out more here.

Although WestJet is flying their newly
received Boeing 767 between select cities in Canada it appears they
still haven’t received their ETOPS rating for the plane as they are
leasing an OMNI Air 767 to serve the Alberta-Hawaii market between Dec
11 and Jan 9. Note that if you have ‘Plus’ seats booked for flights
during this time OMNI Air does not have Plus seats, they are 100%
economy seats so you may want to go back to WestJet to see if they’ll
refund you some money!! (Source Airlineroute.net)

American AAdvantage is giving current AAdvantage Elite members the chance to buy up their elite status for 2016. Find out more here.
