When I showed the WestJet agent in Canada my Delta Diamond card I did not have to pay for checked luggage and got an aisle seat pretty close to the front of the plane, even though the plane was full and I checked in at the airport and hour or so prior to departure (I could not do it on line). So, unless the gate agent did me a favor to drum up more DL business, I think there is some sort of medallion recognition. Overall, I was quite impressed with Westjet.
