Order Up, Wheels Up; Skip and WestJet Join Forces on Loyalty Rewards
by Marsha Mowers
Two Canadian companies are joining forces to elevate loyalty rewards; Skip and WestJet have launched a new linked-loyalty partnership that lets Canadians use their WestJet points like Skip currency.
Effective today (November 19), members can link their WestJet Rewards and Skip accounts to earn WestJet points on eligible Skip orders. These points can then be redeemed for WestJet flights and vacation packages, or converted into Skip Credits for everyday essentials, including grocery, pharmacy, retail, and restaurant delivery.
Upon linking, members receive an immediate bonus of 500 WestJet points (five-dollar value) and six months of Skip+ free ($60 value), unlocking zero-dollar delivery fees from thousands of restaurants, retailers and more. From there, members can participate in weekly “WestJet Wednesday” Skip Challenges, earning WestJet points on eligible orders.
- From Skip: Members sign in to their Skip account, select ‘link now,’ and authenticate with WestJet.
- From WestJet: Members sign in to their WestJet Rewards account, select ‘link now’ with Skip, and follow the guided steps to authenticate their Skip account.
“In a challenging economy, Canadians rely on loyalty points to turn everyday purchases into tangible value, from a need-it-now delivery to a dream vacation,” said Rachel MacAdam, Vice President of Marketing at Skip. “By enabling WestJet Rewards members to redeem their points directly with Skip, we’re not just offering convenience; we’re giving those points real, everyday spending power that works both on the ground and in the air.”
“By linking WestJet Rewards with Skip, we’re giving our members the flexibility to earn and redeem points in ways that go beyond travel, bringing their next getaway closer with every order,” said Steve McClelland, WestJet Vice-President, Loyalty & Strategic Partnerships. “This milestone in our partnership reflects our commitment to making WestJet Rewards more rewarding every day of the year.”
Canadians can begin earning and redeeming now by linking their Skip and WestJet accounts – either directly through the Skip and WestJet apps, or by visiting the landing page here.
