Over the past few days Emirates Airlines has stated
they would suspend all flights but then backtracked on that and said
they will operate some flights including Toronto but as of today they
have officially suspended all flights. So much for the 20% bonus Tier
Miles offer we posted yesterday, well that is for the time being as that
offer is valid until June 30 so if EK starts flying before then you can
take advantage of it. (Source Emirates)
Closer to home, Vancouver based Pacific Coastal Airlines
has suspended all flights from today to May 2. They hope to resume
operations on May 3.This announcement does not appear to affect the
flights that Pacific Coastal operates as WestJet Link. (Source Pacific Coastal)
If you have read our piece on Shifting your loyalty program strategy to help during these trying and tough financial times
you’ll have seen how you can use your various loyalty rewards points
for gift cards. One loyalty program that we didn’t mention in that post
has decided to STOP allowing redemptions for gift cards. That program is
Best Western Rewards and this comes as a bit of
surprise that a program would go this route at a time when people need
those redemption options the most – however from a financial standpoint
it doesn’t surprise me – Best Western has probably had a run on gift
cards from their members and it could be affecting BW’s cash resources. You can learn more here. (HT LoyaltyLobby)
