November 5 Update: WestJet adds gate upgrade benefit, buy Delta SkyMiles status and 24 new miles & points bonuses

Rewards Canada Team Uncategorized

WestJet has added a new gate upgrade benefit for
WestJet Rewards elite members. This is the first confirmed and
publicized offer these members being able to get upgrades to their new
business class pods on the Calgary-Toronto route. The terms say only
single traveller reservations are considered so don’t be alarmed if you
don’t get upgraded when travelling with some else! Find out more here (HT WestonC on FlyerTalk)

Starting October 31, 2019, Platinum, Gold and Silver members may be
eligible to receive a last-minute upgrade at the boarding gate when
seats in the next higher cabin remain open.

  • Gate upgrades from Economy to Premium is an extension of the
    current benefit which provides upgrades prior to check-in with the
    purchase of an eligible fare. A second round of upgrades closer to
    departure provides even more opportunities for a Premium experience.
  • Those who purchase a Premium fare on flights between Calgary and
    Toronto on our state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner may also be
    eligible for an upgrade to a spacious pod in the Business cabin.
  •  Provided on single-guest reservations only, subject to the purchase of
    an eligible fare and availability of seats for upgrade. When available,
    upgrades will be allocated in priority order by tier, starting with
    Platinum, followed by booking class. Upgrades to Premium may be assigned
    either 1) prior to the opening of the check-in period, or 2) at the
    gate immediately prior to boarding. Upgrades to Business will be
    assigned at the boarding gate only. Terms and conditions for
    complimentary upgrades

Delta SkyMiles has brought back their ‘Elevate your
Status’ offer. This offer always run in late fall and provide SkyMiles
members to opportunity to pay to upgrade their elite status for the
upcoming year. Find out more here.

Who is eligible for Elevate Your Status?

  • If you are a Platinum, Gold or Silver Medallion Member, you are
    eligible for Elevate Your Status unless you received complimentary
    Status for a Tier above the Tier you earned Status for.

    • Example: If you were given complimentary Gold Medallion
      Status, but earned Silver Medallion Status through the published
      requirements, you are not eligible for Elevate Your Status.
  • If you are a General SkyMiles Member, you must be within range to
    reach Silver Medallion Status by purchasing the maximum bundle of MQMs,
    MQSs and MQDs, in order to be eligible.

    • Example: If you have 12,000 MQMs, you will not be eligible
      because the maximum amount of MQMs that can be earned through Elevate
      Your Status to reach Silver Medallion Status is 12,500 and the MQMs
      requirement for Silver Medallion Status is 25,000.
  • If you are a Diamond Medallion Member, you are not eligible, because you have already reached the top Tier of Medallion Status.
