Get up to 15,000 WestJet points
Apply Now1To benefit from this offer, your application must be received and approved by Royal Bank of Canada ("Royal Bank") between June 16, 2026 and November 4, 2026 ("Offer Period"). This offer only applies to new applications for a WestJet RBC Mastercard.
You will receive 5,000 welcome WestJet points upon your first purchase ("Welcome WestJet Points"). The Welcome WestJet Points will appear on your monthly credit card statement and in your WestJet Rewards account, accessible at westjet.com/account, up to six (6) weeks after your first purchase transaction date, provided that your WestJet RBC Mastercard credit card account ("Credit Card Account") remains open and in good standing at that time, "good standing" meaning that your Credit Card Account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive Credit Card Account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status at that time.
To receive the additional 10,000 WestJet points ("Additional WestJet Points"), (i) a total of $1,000 ("Qualifying Transaction Amount") or more in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions ("Qualifying Transactions") must be posted to your Credit Card Account within the first three (3) months of your Credit Card Account opening date ("Period"), and (ii) your Credit Card Account must remain open and in good standing at the time the Additional WestJet Points are awarded to your WestJet Rewards account, approximately six (6) weeks after the date you reach the Qualifying Transaction Amount. Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees, and credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Credit Card Account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions.
The transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date, will determine whether the transaction will count towards the Qualifying Transaction Amount. This means that Qualifying Transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not count towards the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Mastercard) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.
Only the primary cardholder on the Credit Card Account is eligible for this offer. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)), as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account, transferring to a WestJet RBC Mastercard, are not eligible for this offer.
If you close your Credit Card Account or change it for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome WestJet Points or the Additional 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.

The WestJet RBC® Mastercard is a scaled-down version of the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard.
We'd recommend the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercard to anyone who qualifies for it, as it has a stronger welcome bonus, a more powerful companion pass, and more card benefits. However, the WestJet RBC® Mastercard could be a good fit for those that don't qualify for the World Elite card but like to travel with WestJet.
The WestJet RBC® Mastercardǂ is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 15,000 WestJet points1: 5,000 upon your first purchase, and 10,000 when you spend $1,000 in the first three months. To qualify, apply by November 4, 2026.
The annual fee is $39†, with $19 for additional cardholders.
With the WestJet RBC® Mastercard, you’ll earn:
WestJet Rewards prides itself on being a straightforward loyalty program that's easy to understand.
For the most part, each WestJet point is worth 1 cent per point, which means that 100 WestJet points is worth $1, 1,000 WestJet points is worth $10, 10,000 WestJet points is worth $100, and so on.
At the time of booking, WestJet points can be redeemed against the base fare, Other Air Transportation Charges ("Other ATC"), extra baggage fees, and seat selection fees at a value of 1 cent per point. You need to redeem at least 2,500 WestJet points for a flight, or at least 5,000 WestJet points for a WestJet Vacations package.
After you've made a full redemption for everything on the ticket, if you have enough WestJet points remaining to cover the taxes and fees, you can choose to do so at a rate of 105–110 WestJet points = $1 (CAD) towards the taxes and fees. This results in a value of 0.91–0.95 cents per point.
Unlike many other loyalty programs, the opportunities to score outsized value from your points are quite limited with the WestJet Rewards program.
One way to squeeze more value is by combining a WestJet points redemption with a Member Exclusive Fare booking. While WestJet advertises Member Exclusive Fares as offering up to 65% off of base fares, you're much more likely to come across discounts of 5–10%.
Indeed, this is the most valuable way to redeem WestJet points. Just be sure to compare the fare inclusions and exclusions of Member Exclusive Fares, since you may be better off with other fare types.

Once unlocked, the voucher can be used for round-trip travel within Canada and to/from the continental U.S. (excluding Hawaii), starting from $199 CAD plus taxes, fees, surcharges and other ATC for the second traveller.It applies to UltraBasic, Econo, EconoFlex, Premium, or Premium Flex fares, and the first passenger pays the regular fare. Taxes and fees still needs to be paid on the companion ticket, and the voucher can't be used for business class.
If you'll be taking advantage of the companion voucher, the $39 annual fee is a relatively small price to pay.
