Mar 4 Update: WestJet offers new Fare Bundles, Last day to book SPG Awards at old rates, Aeroplan sign up bonus

Welcome to another week here on Rewards Canada! As always watch for a whole
bunch of program news, travel deals and of course bonus offers over the course
of the week. I should also have a post coming to you about a topic that has
been in my head for years and I am finally writing about it, it won’t be a huge
post but one that should interest most of you. Biggest news over the weekend
was the WestJet launch of a new web booking engine and remember today is the
last day to book SPG awards at the old rates. In the bonus offers check out
the extension of the Aeroplan sign up/first flight bonus, I doubt many of you
can take advantage of it but who knows maybe one of you reading this is not
an Aeroplan member yet.

News, Tips & Tricks

WestJet has introduced a new online booking engine that has a new fare
bundle (pricing/ticketing structure) for their flights, multi city options
and more. I found this while checking out Hawaii flights yesterday and see that
WestJet’s VP of Communications posted it to FlyerTalk
on Saturday. The new fare bundles are as followed and it is assumed that the highest fare category will be their ‘Premium Economy’ fare as it offers access to the first three rows where WestJet is installing their Premium Economy seating.

For a complete summary of the new WestJet features please visit WestJet.com

Just a reminder that today is the last day to book Starwood Preferred Guest Award Nights before the 2013 category changes and also the last day to book Cash+Points at the old rates!
