* To benefit from this offer and receive 35,000 welcome WestJet points upon your first purchase (“Welcome WestJet Points”), your application must be approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”).

WestJet bonus enrolment points will appear in your WestJet Rewards account, accessible at westjet.com/account, within six (6) weeks of your first purchase, provided your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business credit card account (“credit card account”) is open and in good standing at that time. “In good standing” means the account is not more than two (2) consecutive statement periods past due, closed, or written off, and credit has not been revoked. Only the primary cardholder of the business credit card account is eligible for WestJet bonus enrolment points; joint cardholders are not eligible. To receive WestJet bonus enrolment points, the primary cardholder of the business card must make at least one (1) purchase during the eligibility year (defined below). Any purchase made by a secondary cardholder of the business card does not count as a “first purchase.”

If you close your Credit Card Account or change it for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome WestJet Points have been awarded to your WestJet Rewards account, you may not receive the points. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank and WestJet reserve the right to modify, cancel or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by us in our sole discretion.

1. If you are a Silver Member, you will earn three (3) additional WestJet dollars for every dollar spent on eligible WestJet flights (including base fares and surcharges, seat selection, checked baggage, and upgrades, but excluding taxes), for a total of six (6) WestJet dollars for every dollar of purchase, when you pay with your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business. The three additional WestJet dollars per dollar spent on eligible WestJet flights i) are in addition to the three WestJet dollars you earn for every dollar spent on eligible WestJet flights and are calculated separately, and ii) will be awarded (a) only if WestJet appears as the merchant for the purchase displayed on your monthly credit card statement, b) as long as you remain a Silver status member, and c) within 30 days following the end of travel.

2. Earn 3 WestJet points per dollar spent on telecommunications or electronic devices or services, or shipping services from merchants classified under the following eligible Mastercard merchant category codes (“Eligible MCCs”) and 1.5 WestJet points per dollar spent on all other purchases made with your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard Corporate Card.

Eligible CCCs are:
Telecommunications:
• 4812 Telecommunication apparatus, including telephone sales
• 4814 Telecommunications services, including prepaid telephone services and recurring telephone services

Electronics:
• 5045 Computers, computer peripherals, software
• 5732 Online sales
• 5734 Software stores

Shipping:
• 4215 Air and ground courier services, freight forwarders

The additional 1.5 WestJet dollars per dollar spent on telecommunications or electronic services or devices or shipping services i) are in addition to the 1.5 WestJet dollars per dollar spent on all other types of purchases and are calculated separately, and ii) will only be awarded for purchases made with merchants classified under an eligible MCC.

While some merchants may sell telecommunications or electronic services or devices or shipping services, purchases made with these merchants are not necessarily eligible for the additional 1.5 WestJet dollars per dollar spent offer if these merchants are not classified under an eligible MCC. Furthermore, merchants whose MCC is not eligible may operate in the same premises as merchants whose MCC is eligible, but purchases made with these merchants whose MCC is not eligible still do not qualify for the additional 1.5 WestJet dollars per dollar spent.

The Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) cannot guarantee that a merchant selling telecommunications or electronic services or devices or shipping services will be classified under an eligible MCC, and in no event will the Royal Bank be obligated to award the additional 1.5 points for a purchase made with a merchant not classified under an eligible MCC. WestJet dollars are awarded on net purchases only; they are not awarded on cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions, and bill payments that are not pre-authorized debits established with a merchant), interest charges, and other fees. Returns or adjustments will reduce or cancel the number of points earned on amounts originally charged to the card. The Royal Bank of Canada and WestJet reserve the right to cancel, modify, or withdraw this offer at any time.

3. Earn 3 WestJet dollars per dollar spent on eligible WestJet flights or WestJet Vacations packages and 1.5 WestJet dollars per dollar spent on all other types of purchases when you pay with your WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business. The additional 1.5 WestJet dollars per dollar spent on eligible WestJet flights and WestJet Vacations packages i) are in addition to the 1.5 WestJet dollars accumulated on all other purchases and are calculated separately, and ii) will only be awarded if WestJet or WestJet Vacations appears as the merchant on your monthly credit card statement. Therefore, if you purchase WestJet flights or a WestJet Vacations package through a travel agency or a third-party website, you may not be eligible for the additional 1.5 WestJet dollars per dollar spent. WestJet dollars are awarded on net purchases only; they are not awarded on cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions, and bill payments that are not pre-authorized debits established with a merchant), interest charges, and other fees. Returns or adjustments will reduce or cancel the number of points earned on amounts originally charged to the card.

4. The primary cardholder on a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business account (“Primary Business Cardholder”) will enjoy all the benefits of WestJet Silver status (“Silver Benefits”), starting within ten (10) days from their WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business account (“WestJet RBC Business Account”) approval date, until December 31st of the following calendar year (“First Year Silver Benefit”).

When the Silver level benefits for the first year are no longer in effect, the primary corporate cardholder may retain the Silver benefits for the next eligibility year (defined below) if a total of at least $30,000 in eligible purchases (defined below) has been charged to their eligible WestJet RBC account during the previous eligibility year (” Silver Level benefits for the following year”), and so on.

“Eligible purchases” means the net total of purchase transactions made by any cardholder on the WestJet RBC Business Account and appearing on a monthly statement for the eligible WestJet RBC Business Account during an eligibility year (defined below), less returns and other credits, fees, interest charges, and cash advances (balance transfers, cash-like transactions, bill payments that are not pre-authorized debits established with a merchant).

Qualifying Year” means January 1 to December 31 of each calendar year. For new Eligible WestJet RBC Business Accounts, it means the period between the first WestJet RBC Business Account’s monthly statement date, and December 31.

A business cardholder who benefits from Silver status for the first year or the following year will no longer be able to benefit from these advantages as of January 1st of the following year if a total of less than $30,000 in eligible purchases is charged to their eligible WestJet RBC business account during the eligibility year. Subsequently, if a total of at least $30,000 in eligible purchases is charged to their WestJet RBC business account at any time during an eligibility year, the business cardholder will be able to benefit again from Silver status advantages starting from the first day of the next statement period and until December 31st of the following eligibility year.

To determine whether a total of at least $30,000 in eligible purchases has been charged to a WestJet RBC Business account during an eligibility year, we will review eligible purchases charged to the WestJet RBC Business account up to the date of the December monthly statement (statement date). As a result, some purchases made in December may not be included in the $30,000 of eligible purchases for a given eligibility year. For example, if monthly statements are produced on the 27th day of each month and a purchase is made on December 28, the transaction will appear on the January monthly statement and will not count toward the $30,000 in eligible purchases for the current eligibility year. Eligible purchases will be reset to zero ($0) at the beginning of each eligibility year.

First Year Silver Benefit and Subsequent Silver Benefit (i) are solely for the benefit of the Primary Business Cardholder whose Eligible WestJet RBC Business Account is open and in good standing, whether the Primary Business Cardholder is a business owner, a signing authority or a simple employee, (ii) are not transferrable, (iii) do not provide the Primary Business Cardholder with the 4,000 CAD in tier qualifying spend normally required to achieve Silver status, (iv) do not replace nor override any higher WestJet tier status the Primary Business Cardholder may otherwise be enjoying in accordance with the WestJet Rewards Program, and (v) are not available to existing or former WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business primary business cardholders, applying for or transferring to a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business.

5. All WestJet points earned by all cardholders on a WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard for Business‡ account will be awarded to the primary business cardholder only, whether or not the primary business cardholder is a business owner, a signing authority or an employee.

6. WestJet dollars can be used to pay for: 1) base fares marketed by WestJet; 2) certain related WestJet services, such as checked baggage, upgrades, and seat selection; 3) all applicable taxes, fees, fares, and other air transportation charges on flights marketed by WestJet; 4) WestJet Vacations packages, eligible Sunwing Vacations packages, or WestJet Vacations Quebec packages; 5) purchases from designated participating partners; and 6) purchases made in the WestJet online store. No retroactive redemption of WestJet dollars will be permitted. A minimum redemption of 2,500 WestJet dollars applies to UltraBase, Econo, Premium, and Business fare purchases; the entire base fare and other air transportation charges must be paid with WestJet dollars when paying for a Member Exclusive fare.

11. The Mastercard Travel Pass by DragonPass program is a benefit offered to valid and eligible WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business cardholders. Each eligible WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business cardholder is entitled to a complimentary membership to participating airport lounges in the DragonPass program (as long as they remain a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business cardholder). Cardholders must register to obtain this benefit by downloading the Mastercard Travel Pass app and registering at https://mastercardtravelpass.dragonpass.com/ using their eligible credit card. During registration, the cardholder’s name (first and last name) as it appears on their passport (or any other government-issued identification used for travel within Canada) must be entered, as it will be verified upon entry to airport lounges. For each visit to an airport lounge, a fee of US$32 (subject to change) per person is charged for the cardholder and their accompanying guests. The fees will be charged to the eligible credit card associated with the cardholder’s program membership card. Membership includes access to any participating airport lounge in the program. After registering for the program, the cardholder can access airport lounges by presenting: i) their eligible credit card, ii) their digital membership card and QR code from the app or program website, or iii) their printed or emailed e-certificate containing the membership card and QR code. Program membership will be suspended if the eligible credit card is closed or inactive, is no longer linked to the program or no longer participates in the program, or if the eligible credit card is no longer a participating product in the program. It is the cardholder’s responsibility to report any changes to the information of their eligible credit card linked to the program if there are changes. If the cardholder uses a printed or emailed e-certificate to access the lounge, they will need to obtain a new e-certificate if changes are made to their eligible credit card information. Unless suspended or cancelled, program membership is automatically renewed annually on the anniversary date (the date the cardholder registered for the program). Program membership may be suspended if the eligible credit card is no longer in good standing. Cardholders can consult the app or program website for a complete list of participating airport lounges, as well as facilities offered, opening hours, and any restrictions. Registered cardholders are subject to the terms and conditions of the airport lounge access program and the terms of use of the visited lounges established by the operators, which can be found in the app and on the program website.
