Earlier today we brought you details of the new WestJet Rewards Elite Status Match offer and wanted to remind our readers of some resources we have to help you with other status matches, fast track to status and bonus status points miles and offers. The two sources on our site are our Elite Status Offers aggregator page where we compile all the offers onto one page. You can access the page here. The other is tied into a credit card offer but shows you how can get status with 10+ hotels, airlines and more with that card. You can access that feature here. Finally there is a great website call Status Matcher that compiles the wins (and losses) of frequent travellers who try to match status between programs. You can visit StatusMatcher.com here.

I know many a member of the old Fairmont President’s Club are not happy with the program being integrated into Le Club AccorHotels last year as many of the great benefits that came along with the program are gone. The one part of the old program that was lacking however was points or miles earning. It was a flat rate of 500 miles per stay in about half a dozen airline programs. This is the one area that Le Club AccorHotels can be more advantageous. Seeing the program awards points based on spend – and seeing that Fairmont Hotels tend not to be cheap, you can typically earn more points or miles than before, especially on longer stays. The earn rate for non-elite members is 25 points per 10 Euros spent. Then those points typically convert at a rate of 4,000 points to 2,000 miles (This is the Aeroplan rate) So before if you spent $900 on a three night Fairmont stay you’d only earn 500 Aeroplan miles whereas now the equivalent would be about 750 miles. Not a huge amount either way though…WestJet Rewards Elite Status Match for Air Canada Altitude, Aeroplan & Porter VIPorter members
– RewardsCanada.ca
WestJet has brought back their elite status match offer for members of select Canadian loyalty programs. Those who hold elite status with Air Canada Altitude, Aeroplan (yes Aeroplan!) and Porter’s VIPorter program can get matched to Silver or Gold Elite status with WestJet Rewards.As you can see, if you are a true frequent traveller, that is basically every level with Air Canada Altitude outside of 25K or a VIPorter Priority member you will get WestJet Gold Elite status. Aeroplan members of the program’s two highest levels, Black or Diamond and the lowest levels of AC Altitude and VIPorter will receive Silver Elite Status.Not only will you get the WestJet Elite status until the end of the year, you will also get a fast track to retain status to the end of your qualifying year. That means if you joined WestJet Rewards in May of whatever year you’ll get the elite status until December 31st of this year but if you hit the lower spend thresholds with WestJet you would get that status extended to May of 2020…
