Air France KLM Flying Blue expands free stopovers to reward flights on partner airlines

In 2022 Air France KLM began offering free stopovers on reward flights taken on either airline and now that feature has been expanded to cover all the Flying Blue partner airlines including WestJet. Essentially you should be able to book a stopover in any city worldwide served by Air France KLM or their partners. This even means you should be able to book stopovers in Canada thanks to the WestJet partnership. For example, you could book Vancouver to Toronto on WestJet (stopover in Toronto) and then continue on Air France or KLM to Europe if you like.

Do note that at this time you have to call in to book any rewards with stopovers which means at this time this feature cannot be applied to Flying Blue’s famous Promo Rewards as those need to be booked online.

New Amex Offers statement credit for Fantuan Delivery

The start of this week sees the return of Fantuan Delivery to Amex Offers:

Spend at least $25 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card at www.fantuanorder.com/ by 24/09/2023 and earn a one-time $5 statement credit. Registration cap applies. Terms apply.

Personally I received this offers on The Platinum Card from American Express but you may receive it on a different card. These are also available to holders of Scotiabank American Express Cards who simply need to register for the offer here.

Simply log in to your Amex account or go onto the Amex app to see if these offers have been sent to you and to register for them. You can find this and many more offers in our Guide to American Express Canada ‘Amex Offers’
