WestJet Rewards

WestJet Rewards is WestJet’s official loyalty program, Canada’s second-largest carrier. Members earn WestJet points (formerly “WestJet dollars”) on flights, vacation packages, and purchases with a co-branded credit card. The earn rate ranges from 1 to 8 points per dollar spent depending on member status, fare, and cabin.

The program was recently modernized with a MyWestJet partnership that allows Aeroplan members to earn WestJet points and Aeroplan points at the same time on eligible flights, a unique advantage in Canada. Points can be redeemed for WestJet flights, hotel nights via WestJet Vacations, and seats on partners like American Airlines, Delta, Air France, KLM, and Qantas.

Two RBC cards are issued to earn WestJet points:

• La Carte World Elite Mastercard RBC WestJet, qui donne 2 points WestJet par dollar sur les achats WestJet et 1,5 % ailleurs, plus une aubaine annuelle accompagnateur de 119 $ et un crédit annuel de 50 $ pour les frais NEXUS
• La Carte Mastercard RBC WestJet sans frais annuels, qui donne 1 point par 2 $ dépensés et 1,5 % sur les achats WestJet
• Pour les entreprises, la Carte World Elite Mastercard RBC WestJet pour entreprise, avec des limites de dépense plus élevées

The World Elite companion voucher deal lets you book a flight for a second person for $119 + taxes within Canada, or $399 + taxes on long-haul routes—often a savings that exceeds the card’s annual fee ($119).

WestJet Rewards includes four tiers based on Status-qualifying spend (SQS) earned in a calendar year: Teal (base), Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Thresholds increased as of January 1, 2025.

• Teal: aucun seuil minimum, accès aux promotions exclusives
• Silver: 4 000 $ de DAS, 2 bagages enregistrés gratuits, bons de sélection de sièges, surclassements gratuits à la porte d’embarquement
• Gold: 6 000 $ de DAS, 2 bagages enregistrés gratuits, accès illimité aux salons avec 2 bons pour invité, priorité de surclassement plus élevée
• Platinum: 10 000 $ de DAS, 3 bagages enregistrés gratuits, accès illimité aux salons, embarquement prioritaire en zone 1 et priorité maximale de surclassement

Holders of the Carte World Elite Mastercard RBC WestJet can increase their SQS by $200 per Status Boost, up to 50 times per calendar year, and automatically get a first checked bag free for themselves and up to 8 companions on the same reservation.

Milesopedia values the WestJet point at around 1 CA¢, which matches the base redemption rate toward WestJet flights (1,000 points = $10 off). The best uses include:

• Vols domestiques au Canada, particulièrement dans l’Ouest où WestJet domine le réseau
• Forfaits WestJet Vacances vers les destinations soleil (Mexique, Caraïbes), où chaque point donne directement une réduction sur le prix
• Vols sur les partenaires Skyteam (Air France, KLM, Delta) et Oneworld (American Airlines, Qantas) pour des destinations non desservies par WestJet

Unlike Aeroplan, there are no high-value business-class award fares: WestJet points are best used for one-way trips and packages.

MyWestJet is a linked earning program launched in 2024 between WestJet and Aeroplan. It allows a traveller to earn WestJet points AND Aeroplan points at the same time on the same eligible WestJet flight, without having to choose between the two programs.

To take advantage of it, you need to:

• Être membre des deux programmes (l’inscription est gratuite)
• Lier les deux comptes via le portail MyWestJet
• Utiliser le numéro WestJet Récompenses lors de la réservation

It’s one of the only ways in Canada to earn two travel currencies at the same time, which is especially interesting for travellers who combine WestJet flights and Star Alliance flights via Air Canada. WestJet status is not reciprocally recognized by Aeroplan, but the points earned are added independently in each program.
