News, Tips & Tricks
Starwood Hotels has announced a new 'Luxury Privileges' program that offers special privileges and perks for booking participating hotels through select professional travel agents. For full details see this post on FlyerTalk
PointsHound the online hotel booking site that has been mentioned a few times here on Rewards Canada has lost United as mileage earning partner. It appears that United has taken a 'strategic interest' in RocketMiles, a competing site of PointsHound.com and has dropped Pointshound.com as a partner. Pointshound.com members who were chose United MileagePlus as their earning preference will have to choose a different program to place their miles into and as a goodwill gesture it looks like Pointshound is awarding those members with bonus points which can be claimed in the program of your choice on your next booking.
Meanwhile, their competitor RocketMiles has added a lot more cities to their service. They now offer miles on hotel bookings in over 150 cities around the sWorld. They have also added Etihad Guest as a mileage earning partner.
WestJet has announced new mainline and Encore routes that further expand their reach and of course provides WestJet Rewards members more flights to earn WestJet dollars on or more miles for American AAdvantage members. The new Encore routes are Regina-Winnipeg, Saskatoon-Winnipeg, Vancouver-Kamloops, Vancouver-Terrace while mainline sees a new Calgary-Miami route. Over and above these new routes are a lot of frequency additions on many WestJet and WestJet Encore routes. (Source Airline Route Update 1,2)
