WestJet RBC Mastercard: 15,000 Points, No Minimum Income

The WestJet RBC Mastercard offers up to 15,000 WestJet points as a welcome bonus, worth roughly $150 toward your next flights, for a $39 annual fee and with no minimum income requirement. Once the fee is deducted, you are left with about $111 in net value in the first year.

The WestJet RBC Mastercard is WestJet’s entry-level option. It lets you earn WestJet points on your everyday purchases, without the fees of a World Elite card.
