TORONTO, April 2 /CNW/ - The AIR MILES(R) Reward Program and WestJet
Airlines today announced a multi-year renewal agreement, reaffirming WestJet's
Reward partnership with the AIR MILES Reward Program, and thus continuing to
provide Collectors with the ability to redeem for WestJet flights.
This press release says nothing about collecting Air Miles, only redeeming them. You can redeem Air Miles on several different airlines, including AC, AA, and NW. There's nothing here to stop WS from starting their own FF programme.
