WestJet, the airline offers the WestJet Rewards loyalty program. Here’s a closer look at how to earn, use, and manage your WestJet points, as well as the affiliated credit cards.
The currency you earn, formerly called the “WestJet dollar,” became the WestJet point on April 30, 2025.
On flights and vacation packages, the number of WestJet points earned depends on your status. You can earn from 1 to 8 points per dollar spent on the following fees:
The two credit cards issued by RBC also let you earn 1 to 2 WestJet points per dollar on purchases:
Flights on partners (American Airlines, Air France, KLM, Delta, Qantas, etc.) also allow you to earn WestJet points based on class and distance flown.
You can also earn points on WestJet Vacations packages, as well as on car rentals booked with WestJet.
For online shopping, you can now go through the WestJet Rewards eStore to earn points on every dollar spent with WestJet Rewards partner retailers.
You can use your WestJet points for:
It’s now possible to pay the full cost of a flight or vacation package with your WestJet points, which wasn’t possible back in the WestJet Dollars days.
The price in WestJet points will depend on availability, but also on the class, from the lowest (Econo) to the most flexible (Plus). On partner flights (excluding codeshares) like Delta, you must pay the full base fare in WestJet points. Note that only certain destinations are available.
Finally, you can also redeem your WestJet points for merchandise and gift cards through the WestJet Rewards eStore. However, as a general rule, this is never the most optimal way to use your points.
There are four status tiers within WestJet Rewards: Teal, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
To reach these different statuses, you need to spend a certain amount on flight spending over 12 months on WestJet flights, except for the base level, which is Teal.
In addition to earning WestJet points faster, Silver, Gold, and Platinum members get perks like lounge access, free checked bags, free ticket changes, etc.
Holders of the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard‡ can reach a tier faster thanks to spending on the card.
WestJet Rewards members can get additional benefits based on the spending thresholds reached with WestJet. This includes:
