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 World Elite 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.

The transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date, will determine whether the transaction will count towards the Qualifying Transaction Amount.

Everything Else
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, and seat selection 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.
How to Choose the Right WestJet Fare
Read moreFor WestJet travellers, the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercardǂ offers a number of meaningful benefits.
Checked baggage fees cost $35 or more per person, so this benefit alone could be worth up to $140 per round-trip if travelling as a couple, or potentially even more if you're travelling as a larger group or multiple times per year. If you're able to use this benefit, it easily justifies the card's annual fee on a rolling basis.
The other primary selling point of this card is an annual round-trip World Elite Companion Voucher for travel on WestJet.† To receive the voucher each year, you must spend at least $5,000 annually on your card.⁵
Once unlocked, the World Elite Companion Voucher can be redeemed in the following ways:
Since it’s a World Elite Companion Voucher, you have to be booking an itinerary for at least two people – the first passenger would pay full price, while the second passenger would enjoy the World Elite Companion Voucher’s promotional price for the base fare only. The companion will have to pay the taxes and fees, in addition to the discounted base fare.
If you're a solo traveller, or if you don't use your World Elite Companion Voucher, you can convert your World Elite Companion Voucher into one of the following options instead:Read More
For every $5,000 spent on the card, you'll earn $200 in Tier Qualifying Spend,† which helps you earn WestJet Rewards status.
You can get up to 50 Status Lifts each year, which would result in you achieving top-tier Platinum status without ever having set foot in a plane. This would require spending $250,000 on your card.
As a reminder, WestJet's Elite Tiers come with the following amounts of Tier Qualifying Spend:

Finally, cardholders receive a 12-month complimentary DashPass subscription±, to enjoy unlimited deliveries with $0 delivery fees on orders of $15 or more when you pay with your eligible RBC credit card.†As a travel credit card, the WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercardǂ offers a suite of insurance coverage.
Notably, if you redeem WestJet points on your booking and pay the remainder of the balance with your WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercardǂ, the insurance coverage will apply.†
The WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercardǂ comes with the following insurance coverage:
You’ll also enjoy top-drawer purchase protection benefits, including an extended warranty that doubles the original manufacturer's warranty for up to one year, and coverage against accidental loss or damage of personal property for up to 90 days from the date of purchase.†
