WestJet and TELUS Officially Launch Their Loyalty Partnership

WestJet’s loyalty program continues to evolve. Following the launch of its revised and improved version earlier this year, a new strategic partnership is officially launched: WestJet Rewards and TELUS Rewards are now linked, allowing members to combine their benefits to maximize their rewards.

Members can now link their WestJet Rewards account to their TELUS Rewards account to earn, transfer, and redeem points between the two programs. As a bonus, those who link their accounts automatically receive WestJet seat selection vouchers and TELUS roaming passes, to travel more comfortably and stay connected worldwide.

What Can You Do with this Partnership?

Earn WestJet points by paying for your TELUS services (Internet, phone, TV, mobility).
Redeem WestJet points to pay for your TELUS services or shop in the TELUS Rewards catalog.
Convert TELUS points to WestJet points to book flights, vacation packages, or extras in the WestJet eStore.

How to Link Your Accounts?

Linking your accounts is quick and easy, taking just a few minutes depending on how fast you receive your 2FA security codes.

You can link your accounts directly:

On the WestJet website
On the TELUS website

Steps on the TELUS website:

Log in to your TELUS Rewards account.
Select the linking option with WestJet Rewards.
Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the connection.

Earning WestJet Points on Your TELUS Services

Once accounts are linked, you have two options:

Continue to earn TELUS points, then convert them later;
Or directly earn WestJet points on your TELUS bill.

The current conversion rate is 1 TELUS Rewards point = 0.067 WestJet point.

Note: only whole WestJet points are deposited. Fractions remain in your TELUS account.

Transferring TELUS Points to WestJet Rewards

If you prefer to transfer your points afterwards, that’s also possible. The TELUS dashboard allows you to convert points in just a few clicks.

Conversion rate: 10,000 TELUS points = 670 WestJet points
Minimum transfer: 1,000 TELUS points

This gives you the flexibility to plan your trips based on your points balance.

Redeem WestJet Points for TELUS Services

You can also use your WestJet points to pay for part or all of your TELUS bill.

Redemption value: 0.8¢ per WestJet point

Although this value is lower than what you get when redeeming for flights or extras (about 1 cent per point), it can be useful if you want to reduce your monthly bills.

To redeem your points:

Log in to your WestJet Rewards account.
Select the TELUS option from the rewards choices.
Follow the on-screen steps to apply your points to your bill.

Bottom Line

This new collaboration between WestJet and TELUS is part of a broader strategy aimed at offering more flexibility to Canadian travellers and consumers. This partnership also marks one of the first major steps announced during the launch of the new version of the WestJet Rewards program, alongside future collaborations with SkipTheDishes and Canadian Tire (Triangle program).

By linking your accounts, you can turn your everyday spending into opportunities to save on your flights or TELUS services. A simple and smart way to make every dollar spent work for you.

Additionally, holders of the RBC WestJet World Elite Mastercard can get even more value from their purchases. By using this card, you earn up to 2 WestJet points per dollar spent on WestJet flights and WestJet Vacations packages, as well as 1.5 points on everyday purchases, while enjoying exclusive benefits.

Tip to maximize your rewards: you can also earn points with the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card, then transfer them to the WestJet Rewards program for even more flexibility.

¹ To benefit from this offer, your application must be received and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) between June 16, 2026 and November 4, 2026 (“Offer Period”). This offer only applies to new applications for a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard.

You will receive up to 30,000 welcome WestJet points upon your first purchase (“Welcome WestJet Points”) distributed as follows: (i) 25, 000 Welcome WestJet Points up to six (6) weeks after your first purchase transaction date; and (ii) 5,000 Welcome WestJet Points up to twelve (12) weeks after your first purchase transaction date, provided your first purchase gets posted to your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard credit card account (“Credit Card Account”) within the first three (3) months of your Credit Card Account opening date (“Period”).

You will receive an additional 30,000 WestJet points (“Additional WestJet Points”) provided a total of $5,000 (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) or more in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transaction(s)”) are posted to your Credit Card Account within the Period. The Additional WestJet Points will be awarded approximately six (6) weeks after the date you reach the Qualifying Transaction Amount. Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees, and credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Credit Card Account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions.

The transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date, will determine whether the transaction will count towards the Qualifying Transaction Amount. This means that Qualifying Transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not count towards the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Mastercard) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.

You will receive an additional 10,000 WestJet points (“Anniversary WestJet Points”) up to sixteen (16) weeks after your Credit Card Account has been open for one (1) year.

Welcome WestJet Points, Additional WestJet Points and Anniversary WestJet Points will be awarded to your WestJet Rewards account, accessible at westjet.com/account, and appear on your monthly credit card statement, provided your Credit Card Account is open and in good standing at the time they are awarded to your WestJet Rewards account, “good standing” meaning that your Credit Card Account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive Credit Card Account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status at that time.

Only the primary cardholder on the Credit Card Account is eligible for this offer. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)), as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account, transferring to a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard during the Offer Period, are not eligible for this offer.

If you close your Credit Card Account or change it for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome WestJet points, Additional Welcome WestJet points or the Anniversary WestJet points have been awarded to your WestJet Rewards account, you may not receive the points. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank and WestJet reserve the right to modify, cancel or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
