January 10 Update: 10,000 Mileage Plan Miles for being an Elevate member, Petro-Points makeover + 9 new bonuses

News, Tips & Tricks
If you opened up a Virgin America Elevate account prior to December 5th you can get 10,000 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles for free. If you don't have a Mileage Plan account yet visit the link below in the bonus offers section to find the promotion and register for it (you also get an option of getting a $100 travel credit instead of 10,000 miles) If you do have an Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan account you can expect an email asking you to link your accounts and they'll give you 10,000 miles (no option of the $100 credit) I received the email this morning as I have not linked my accounts yet so they assumed I did not have a Mileage Plan account but the email does state if you do you can just click their link to be able to link your Mileage Plan and Elevate accounts. I gave it a few tries but kept getting errors. So I'll try later, maybe too many people are trying to link right now. Who knows. No matter what I am excited as those 10,000 miles are worth two short haul one way tickets and there is no cost to them. I will also transfer my Virgin America Elevate points over to Mileage Plan sometime soon as well. Those Elevate points were all free as well from the various free points offers they have had over the years. Got to love free stuff!

The error I keep getting....

On the news front the headline in the Canadian Travel Rewards scene is the return of Aeroplan's bonus for converting/transferring points from other programs into Aeroplan. See my post from earilier today for more details.

On the tips front, if you are an American Airlines or United Airline elite status member you can get yourself an elite status match in Virgin America's Elevate program. See my post from earilier today for more details.

Virgin America status matching American & United Elite members

Although Virgin America's tenure with service to Canada was short lived, there maybe a few of you who can take advantage this offer, especially if your work (or leisure) travels take you on domestic U.S. routes that VX flies. This offer is for elite members of American Airlines AAdvantage or United Mileage Plus programs, the latter of which I know many Canadians are so why not sign up for this elite status match offer even if you won't use it:


Elite Status Match - Virgin America Elevate is offering to match your United Air Lines or American Airlines elite status to their own Elevate® Gold or Elevate® Silver until April 30, 13. Full details or follow these steps:
Email them at statusmatch@virginamerica.com with your Elevate number and one of the following:
- A copy or screenshot of your most recent mileage summary showing your name and current elite level.
- Or, a copy of your membership card that identifies your name and current elite level in the United Air Lines or American Airlines frequent flyer program. 



There is then an accelerated re-qualification process to keep/earn Elevate Silver or Gold:

Virgin America cuts Toronto service

Less then a year after it started Virgin America will cut its service between Toronto and Los Angeles and San Francisco. Citing a lack of available planes and YYZ being the least profitable route, Virgin America will move the planes from these routes to more profitable ones. The Toronto flights will operate until  April 5, 2011.

Virgin America plans to serve Toronto by June

If approved, Virgin America will start serving Toronto as early as June 2010 from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Subject to receipt of authority from the U.S. DOT, Virgin America would offer one flight per day from Toronto to Los Angeles and San Francisco. Toronto would be Virgin America's first International destination.

Should these routes be approved it gives Canadian's another frequent flyer option as Virgin America does have its own program called Elevate.
