WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard – Benefits

The companion voucher

After your first purchase, you receive a companion voucher redeemable for a round-trip ticket from $119 CAD (taxes, fees and fares extra). The voucher is then issued every year if you put at least $5,000 on your card.

You can also exchange this voucher for one of the following:

• A 30% discount on the base fare for a solo traveller;
• A $200 credit toward a WestJet Vacations or Sunwing package;
• Two airport lounge passes.

Note: since April 8, a temporary $60 surcharge applies to bookings made with a WestJet companion voucher, added under “other fees and taxes.” This surcharge is subject to change.

The WestJet Rewards status boost

For every $5,000 in purchases on your card, you earn $200 in qualifying spend toward a WestJet Rewards status boost. You can boost your status up to 50 times a year, which is enough to reach Platinum status.

Status gives you access to WestJet lounges (Gold and Platinum tiers), priority services and complimentary upgrades.
