“First time cardholder” would seem to exclude churners. If you’ve held the card before you are not a first time cardholder. Is that your understanding, Ricky?
By a strict interpretation of the terms and conditions, yes. I guess we’ll find out soon enough from people’s data points.
Also got this offer today if I renew my Westjet WE. “When your WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercardⱡ renews this year you can look forward to your next companion voucher saving you even more money on a trip within Canada or to the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean. For one year only, when booking an Economy fare for yourself, you will be able to use your companion voucher and pay $0 (plus taxes, fees and charges) for your companion.^”
My renewal is due next month and I was going to try and get them to drop the AF. Might be harder to talk them into it now. 🙁
In the article you mention Central America being part of the ‘$0 zones’ but in the image from the Westjet site I only see Canada, US, Mexico and the Caribbean. Is that a mistake?
“If you became a first-time cardholder between February 24 – May 31, 2021 your first companion voucher will be $0 CAD (plus taxes, fees and other ATC charges) for travel on an Economy fare within Canada, to the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean”
I’ve confirmed that Central America is included in WestJet’s definition of “Caribbean”, so yes the Costa Rica destinations would be eligible.
When I follow your application link https://www.rbcroyalbank.com/credit-cards/camp/wj/1908/?ASC=5GW004&utm_source=westjet&utm_medium=3PB&utm_campaign=WJ_influencer there’s no mention of the companion voucher being Free?
The terms and conditions say: Visit westjet.com/companion-voucher for complete details.
If you follow that link, you’ll see on those terms and conditions: If you became a first-time cardholder between February 24 – May 31, 2021 your first companion voucher will be $0 CAD (plus taxes, fees and other ATC charges) for travel on an Economy fare within Canada, to the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean^.
I see that… Thanks Ricky! 🙂
It looks like the Great White North may get something similar to Southwest Companion Pass… in about 10 years time :).
Being “stuck” in the US for the foreseeable future, I made a push to apply for 2 Southwest credit cards (with the super high welcome bonuses that were available until a few weeks ago). Looking forward to some 2-for-1 domestic travel all the way to the end of 2022. They don’t fly into Canada, but do have some fun sun destinations.
I feel like the majority of promos offered by AC and WJ are just one time teases, while SW is really trying to place themselves as your go-to airline.
I think that boils down to the competition. Southwest needs to compete against the US network carriers, so it makes sense to offer customers an ongoing incentive to build long-term loyalty. Whereas AC and WS are happy to win over customers from each other, but after that there’s less emphasis on retention since we don’t have too many choices anyway.
If I currently hold the regular WestJet credit card, and am planning on using my companion voucher within this next month, will I still be granted the 0$ companion voucher upon switching my card to the world elite?
Thanks in advance!
I followed up on this and confirmed that yes, you will get the $0 companion voucher in this.
Just wish this was FYF as well. Any idea if the WJD bonus for a product switch will increase after Mar 31?
Can you use your WJD to pay for the cost of flight and use the companion voucher at the same time?
Yes you can, if you use WestJet Dollars to pay for a regular fare. However, you can’t combine a WestJet Member Exclusive fare with the companion voucher.
Not eligible for transatlantic, nor eligible for business, and they rape you on ridiculous made up fees, no thanks Westjet still sucks
