- This collaboration brings an innovative layer of connectivity between travel and delivery, allowing members to easily earn and redeem meaningful rewards through everyday moments.
Skip and WestJet, both homegrown Canadian brands, are enhancing what loyalty points can do with the launch of a new linked-loyalty partnership. Canadians can now treat their WestJet points as Skip currency, earning – and notably, redeeming – them on Skip.
Starting today, Canadians can link their WestJet Reward and Skip accounts, to earn WestJet points on qualifying Skip orders. These points can be used for flights and vacations with WestJet or redeemed for Skip Credits that can be used for everyday essentials such as grocery, pharmacy, retail and restaurant delivery. This collaboration brings an innovative layer of connectivity between travel and delivery, allowing members to easily earn and redeem meaningful rewards through everyday moments.
“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.”
Rewards that deliver real value
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.

The announcement comes on the heels of WestJet Rewards’ recent relaunch, designed to give members more ways, every day, to earn and redeem points. This partnership also complements Skip, where members will also gain exclusive access to annual WestJet seat sales, offering even greater value and making it easier to turn rewards into real-life experiences. Joining Skip+ is simple. Customers can subscribe through the Skip app to unlock free delivery, exclusive offers and partner benefits.
