Choice Points Post – How to Transfer to American, Alaska, Delta, United, US Airways, and Southwest

This is a follow-up post to my previous post Why did I Buy 144,000 Choice Privileges Points for $550? which is a follow-up post to Today Only!  Buy SWA Points for 1.3 cpm and American / Alaska / United / US Airways / Delta miles for 1.87 cpm.

I purchased the Choice Privileges Points on June 27 and have been waiting patiently for the points to show up in my Choice Privileges account.  After refreshing my Award Wallet balances (read What is Award Wallet?), I was glad to see that the points had finally posted, all 144,000 of them.  BTW, I did not receive an email from the US Travel Association or Choice Hotels alerting me of the point transfer.

WestJet ITA

In case you are not familiar with WestJet, they are the second largest Canadian airline behind Air Canada and the ninth largest airline in North America (thank you wikipedia).  They are, however, not affiliate with any airline alliance.  For that reason, I was surprised to see WestJet flights bookable on Delta.com.

I used my American Express Delta Credit Card to book 4 WestJet tickets (3 tickets are in a cheaper fare class than the last ticket).  Total charged to the credit card was $839.19.  Read My Delta American Express Credit Card was Stolen… from my Front Door? to find out what happened to my credit card before I booked these tickets.
