Earning WestJet Points

  • 2 WestJet points for every dollar spent on WestJet flights or WestJet Vacations packages.
  • 1.5 WestJet points for every dollar spent on all other purchases.

Redeeming WestJet Points

The WestJet Rewards program offers members the ability to redeem WestJet points towards WestJet flights and WestJet Vacations packages.

Benefits

WestJet Companion Voucher

WestJet RBC World Elite cardholders are eligible to receive an annual companion voucher usable on WestJet flights.

The WestJet companion voucher will be deposited into your WestJet Rewards account shortly after credit card approval and every cardholder anniversary thereafter. Redeeming a WestJet companion voucher makes it possible to book a companion fare at a reduced rate when you pay full price for your own flight on the same itinerary.

The companion voucher can be redeemed for the following destinations with the respective fees depending on your WestJet fare class:

  • Travel within Canada or the continental USA – $119 in fees for UltraBasic/Econo/EconoFlex or $219 for Premium/PremiumFlex fares (plus taxes, fees, charges, and other ATC)
  • Travel to Hawaii, Mexico, or anywhere else in the WestJet network – $399 in fees for UltraBasic/Econo/EconoFlex or $499 for Premium/PremiumFlex fares (plus taxes, fees, charges, and other ATC)

Free First Checked Bag on WestJet Flights

The cardholder will receive one free checked bag for themselves and up to 8 guests on WestJet flights, provided they are all booked on the same itinerary. This makes the card a great way to save on WestJet baggage fees, especially if you booked a fare class that doesn’t include free checked baggage.

WestJet Status Lift Benefit

The WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard offers a Status Lift benefit, in which cardholders will earn $200 in tier qualifying spend towards WestJet Rewards status for every $5,000 spent on the card in a calendar year.

Cardholders can utilize this Status Lift benefit up to 50 times per calendar year, meaning that if you were to spend $250,000 on your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard, you would earn $10,000 in tier qualifying spend, which would earn the highest WestJet Rewards status level, Platinum status.
