Hey Ricky,
Thank you for continuing to research new ways. The devaluation hit us very hard out in the Atlantic.
I doubt any of these will be likely candidates as you say, for the reasons you mention…but also because not many of us are still sitting on a pile of MR they can transfer anymore. I guess there are some folks….
Hopefully you will find some good alternative solutions to add share with us. Still appreciating all of your work.
Let’s look at this they other way around. Can WestJet dollars be used for anything valuable on other airlines ? I must say that I am still pissed by WestJet decision to eliminate the $125 WJD redemption and I just can’t see how one can recommend earning or redeeming WJD anymore. Even worse I can’t see how RBC would want to be associated with WestJet anymore or why anyone in Canada would want to fly with WestJet (even for Calgarians) over Air Canada. Am I overeacting here or other readers feel the same way ? Help shed some light here Ricky ? Should we still do business with WestJet and their WJD when one is rewarded in saving about $8 ou $10 on a flight by being loyal to Westjet ? I don’t think enough has been said about this fiasco. Heads should roll over that decision.
Agreed, I got rid of my RBC WestJet MasterCard several months ago after I had used WestJet dollars to book some flights that got cancelled because of COVID thus the WestJet dollars ended up in my ‘travel bank’ which expire. Why have a credit card that ties you only to WestJet travel rewards and nothing else that I am aware of.
Do you have access to Premium or Business seats on WS when booking with Skypesos?
Doesn’t seem like it. That’s one area in which the new WestJet Member Exclusive fares have an advantage I suppose 😉
Ricky,
Wondering why you omitted using United Miles as a way to redeem for domestic flights?
That’s because the article is meant to focus on points currencies that we can easily earn here in Canada in meaningful quantities. But since others might be wondering too, I’ll add a mention of it in the article.
Since Marriott is the base to be able to convert to various mileage programs I myself use United quite frequently, I suspect others as well. Great article nonetheless!

Interesting article! I thought Delta skymiles weren’t valuable but this does give us some sweetspots for us canadians. I am at 4 US AMEX credit cards now so I’m unable to get any credit cards, but next year when I’m able to cancel my card, I’ll definitely have to look into one of the Delta cards
I have two of the US Delta SkyMiles card – gold and platinum. One nice feature of the platinum is 2-4-1 voucher upon card renewal – or so I hope to find out in Feb next year. Does anyone know if I can use this on a westjet flight redemption through sky miles or just delta flights?
Looks like the companion voucher is for Delta, Delta Connection, and Delta Shuttle flights only.
