Legal Disclaimers2 Earn (i) 2 WestJet points per $1 spent on eligible WestJet flights, WestJet Vacations packages and Sunwing Vacations packages (“Eligible Travel”), and (ii) 1.5 WestJet points per $1 spent on all other purchases when you pay with your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard. The additional 0.5 WestJet point you earn per $1 spent on Eligible Travel (a) is in addition to the 1.5 WestJet points per $1 you earn on all other purchases and is calculated separately, and (b) will only be awarded if WestJet, WestJet Vacations or Sunwing Vacations appears as the merchant on your monthly credit card statement. This means that if you purchase Eligible Travel from a travel agency or a third-party booking site, you may not be eligible for the additional 0.5 WestJet point per $1, and in no event will Royal Bank of Canada be liable or responsible for any claims should this happen. WestJet points are earned on net purchases only; they are not earned on 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 or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the WestJet points earned by the amounts originally charged.
3 Earn (i) 2 WestJet points per $1 spent on eligible purchases in the following categories: Grocery Stores and Supermarkets, Gas, Electric Vehicle Charging, and Public Transit including Rideshare (“Eligible Purchases”) made from merchants that are classified by the following eligible Mastercard’s Merchant Category Codes (“Eligible MCCs”), and (ii) 1.5 WestJet points per $1 spent on all other purchases when you pay with your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard.
Eligible MCCs: 5411 Grocery Stores and Supermarkets; 5541 Service Stations (With or without Ancillary Services); 5542 Automated Fuel Dispensers; 5552 Electric Vehicle Charging; 4121 Taxicabs and Limousines; 4111 Transportation: Suburban and Local Commuter Passenger, including Ferries.
The additional 0.5 WestJet point you earn per $1 spent on Eligible Purchases (i) is in addition to the 1.5 WestJet points per $1 you earn on all other purchases and are calculated separately, and (ii) will only be awarded on Eligible Purchases made from merchants that are classified by an Eligible MCC. As an example, this means that even though a merchant may sell groceries, a purchase made at this merchant may not necessarily qualify for the additional 0.5 WestJet points per $1 if the merchant is not classified by an Eligible MCC. Also, a merchant that is not classified by an Eligible MCC may be located on the premises of another vendor that is classified by an Eligible MCC, and Eligible Purchases made from this merchant may not qualify for the additional 0.5 WestJet points per $1.
Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) cannot guarantee whether a merchant is classified by an Eligible MCC and in no event will Royal Bank be liable or responsible for any claims with respect to Eligible Purchases made from a merchant that is not classified by an Eligible MCC. WestJet points are earned on net purchases only; they are not earned on 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 or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the WestJet points earned by the amounts originally charged. Royal Bank and WestJet reserve the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this benefit at any time.

11 Primary cardholders on a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard and/or WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business credit card account (“Eligible Cardholder(s)”) will have access to “Status Lift”, an annual benefit to help Eligible Cardholders achieve the Silver, Gold or Platinum status faster each year, by providing them a supplemental method to earn tier qualifying spend.
Eligible Cardholders will earn the equivalent of 200 CAD in tier qualifying spend for every $5,000 in Eligible Purchases (as defined below) (“Status Lift”) charged to their WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard and/or WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business credit card account (each, an “Eligible RBC World Elite Account”) during a Qualifying Year (as defined below). Status Lift(s) will be added to their other tier qualifying spend and count towards reaching their next WestJet Rewards tier. If an Eligible Cardholder has two (2) Eligible RBC World Elite Accounts, the Eligible Purchases (as defined below) made with both accounts will be combined towards reaching the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases.
“Eligible Purchases” means the total of net purchase transactions, made by all cardholders on the Eligible RBC World Elite Account, that appear on the Eligible RBC World Elite Account monthly statements prepared during a Qualifying Year (as defined below), minus returns, other credits, fees, interest charges, and cash advances (such as balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges set up with a merchant). “Qualifying Year” means January 1 to December 31 of each calendar year. For new Eligible RBC World Elite Accounts, it means the period between the first Eligible RBC World Elite Account’s monthly statement date, and December 31. A Status Lift may be awarded up to fifty (50) times per Qualifying Year, which is equivalent to 10,000 CAD in tier qualifying spend. A Status Lift will be awarded approximately ten (10) business days after the monthly statement date for which the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases is reached. For each Qualifying Year, Status Lifts are awarded based on the total Eligible Purchases posted to an Eligible RBC World Elite Account(s) until the December monthly statement date (that is the date the statement is prepared). This means that some purchases made in December may not count towards the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases for that Qualifying Year. For example, if monthly statements are prepared on the 27th day of each month and a purchase is made on December 28, the transaction will be posted to the January monthly statement and will not count towards the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases for the current Qualifying Year. Status Lift(s) and Eligible Purchases will reset to zero (0) at the start of each Qualifying Year. For an Eligible Cardholder to earn a Status Lift, their Eligible RBC World Elite Account must be open and in good standing at the time the Status Lift is awarded. If an Eligible RBC World Elite Account is closed before the end of a Qualifying Year, WestJet reserves the right to remove any Status Lift(s) and/or tier upgrade(s) the Eligible Cardholder may have received through this benefit.
Tier qualifying spend earned through Status Lift have no monetary or other exchange value and cannot be sold or transferred. WestJet and Royal Bank of Canada reserve the right to change or withdraw the Status Lift benefit at any time. WestJet, not Royal Bank of Canada, is solely responsible for the WestJet Rewards Program (“Program”), the terms of the Program (including earning, redemption and administration of WestJet points), Program changes and providing Silver Benefits to eligible Primary Business Cardholders.
