Dec 19 Update: WestJet to add inflight Wi-Fi in 2014, Marriott MegaBonus returns, Great Aeroplan offer at Rexall

The second last day of updates for 2013 shows further quieting down of the industry save for the launch of Marriott's newest MegaBonus promotion.

News, Tips & Tricks

According to an article in the Edmonton Journal, WestJet is set to begin offering in flight Wi-Fi sometime in 2014. "CEO Gregg Saretsky confirmed in an interview that WestJet is in the final phases of negotiations with an inflight Internet provider". Air Canada has been testing inflight Wi-Fi between Montreal/Toronto and Los Angeles when in U.S. airspace for a couple of years but have not expanded on that service yet which means WestJet will more than likely be the first airline in Canada to offer it on Canadian flights. Here is a link to the article

The guys running the Milebuzz Canada thread over on FlyerTalk alerted us to a Rexall promotion that ends today where if you include tax (well here in Alberta where it is only 5%) you can get Aeroplan Miles for 1.4 cents each. The offer is 800 bonus Aeroplan Miles when you buy 2 Adidas or Playboy Body Spray or Shower Gel.

  1. Thanks for the shoutout to MilesBuzz!


    The Rexall offer has been extended to December 24. Also, starting December 20, if you buy $50 (before tax) in the store, they give 500 bonus Aeroplan miles.


    So $57.64 including GST should get you 4,500 Aeroplan miles. 1.3 CPM. And you'd get 10 bottles of soapy stuff to keep, or for stocking stuffers, or to give to a shelter.


    I wonder: do these retail points count for Distinction status, for those trying to build points before December 31?

  2. Thanks for the comment Dan! I don't see the extension in the flyer for my store. Going to go by tonight to see.

    Also these miles do count towards Distinction. I am 300 shy of dBlack so should hit it with this promo.
