WestJet Rewards: 500 Bonus Points on First Flight

Free to join · 500 bonus WestJet points after your first flight on an eligible points-earning fare (UltraBasic, contracted and tour-operator fares don't qualify) · Ongoing · ⚠️ 100 pts = $1 on base fare, and redemption starts at 2,500 pts / $25 — so the 500 (~$5) is a head start, not a usable credit on its own · Taxes and fees redeem at a worse rate (105–115 pts/$1)

🔒 Aeroplan Points Expiration Resumes

⚠️ On Nov 30, 2026 the standard 18-month-inactivity expiration policy returns. Any single earning or redeeming transaction (Air Canada / Star Alliance flights, hotel & car partner bookings, eStore or retail purchases, redemptions, transfers, conversions, donations) resets the clock. Balances with no qualifying activity expire on Nov 30 — the clock does NOT start that day, so make a qualifying transaction beforehand. ✅ Exempt: primary TD, Amex or CIBC Aeroplan cardholders, anyone with Aeroplan Elite Status, and members under 18. Air Canada emails a warning up to 60 days out, and expired points can be reinstated within 6 months. Verify on your account → Activity.
