Last week we let you know how you can now earn WestJet Dollars on Delta flights and of course we forgot to mention the reciprocal offer. As of January 1st 2015 you'll be able to earn Delta SkyMiles on WestJet flights. We also didn't mention that techincally you can redeem your WestJet Reward dollars on certain Delta flights. Those flights are the ones where WestJet codeshares on and your ticket is actually issued as a WestJet ticket (not Delta). Here is the SkyMiles earning chart for flying on WestJet:
