WestJet RBC® World Elite Mastercardǂ: Earn Up to 70,000 WestJet Points

In celebration of the recent transformation of the WestJet co-branded credit cards, RBC launched a great offer on the WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ, matching the card’s all-time high.

As a reminder, if you’re looking to boost your WestJet points balance and leverage other WestJet benefits, be sure to give this offer a look before it expires on February 4, 2026.

WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ: Up to 70,000 WestJet Points^†

The current offer available for the WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ matches the card’s all-time-high offer.

If you apply and are approved as a new cardholder, you can earn up to 70,000 WestJet points^† as a welcome bonus, which is structured as follows:

• Earn 30,000 WestJet points upon first purchase^†
• Earn 30,000 WestJet points upon spending $5,000 in the first three months^†
• Earn 10,000 WestJet points upon renewing the card for a second year^†

A welcome bonus of up to 70,000 WestJet points,^† with the lion’s share of WestJet points awarded in the first year, is essentially like getting up to a $700 discount towards a WestJet booking.^†

Unlike in some previous offers, the first-year annual fee isn’t rebated this time, and you’re required to pay the $139 annual fee^† beginning in year one.

In terms of earning rates, you’ll earn 2 WestJet points per dollar spent on eligible WestJet flights, WestJet Vacations, and Sunwing Vacations^†.

You’ll also earn 2 WestJet points per dollar spent on select everyday categories such as restaurants, food delivery, digital subscriptions, streaming services, and digital games.^†

For everything else, you’ll earn 1.5 WestJet points per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases.^†

We value WestJet points at 1 cent per point, and using this valuation, you’re looking at a 2% return on WestJet flights and WestJet Vacations, and a 1.5% return on everyday spending.

You’ll also get a WestJet companion voucher upon spending $5,000 annually,^† which is one of the card’s stand-out features. If used strategically, you can save hundreds of dollars on a WestJet flight booking for two.

If you can’t make good use of the companion voucher in a given year, you can exchange the voucher for one of the following instead:

• A 30% flight discount for one traveller^†
• A $200 credit towards a WestJet Vacations or Sunwing Vacations package^†
• Two airport lounge passes^†

The card also comes with a number of features that are beneficial for anyone who flies WestJet with any frequency, including:

• Free first checked bag for the cardholder and up to eight other passengers travelling on the same reservation, when the ticket is purchased with your WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ ^†
• Strong travel insurance and purchase protection benefits^†

WestJet also offers Status Lift,^† a perk on the WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ that allows cardholders to spend their way towards WestJet status.

In fact, you can now earn up to 50 Status Lifts per year. For every $5,000 spent on the card, you’ll receive $200 in Tier Qualifying Spend.^† 

As a reminder, qualification for WestJet status is based on your qualifying spend on WestJet flights every calendar year, with the following spend thresholds required for each status level:

The Status Lift benefit allows you to earn WestJet status – all the way up to top-tier Platinum status – with your spending on the co-branded card.^†

This offer expires on February 4, 2026, so if you fly with WestJet with any frequency, be sure to add the card to your portfolio before then.

The WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ has a minimum personal income of $80,000 or a household income of $150,000, to be eligible to apply.^†

WestJet RBC^® Mastercard: Up to 15,000 WestJet Points

If you don’t meet the minimum income requirements for the WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ, and you still want to earn WestJet points, then you can consider the offer on the WestJet RBC^® Mastercard.

The current offer for the card is for up to 15,000 WestJet points^†, structured as follows:

• Earn 5,000 WestJet points upon first purchase^†
• Earn 10,000 WestJet points upon spending $1,000 in the first three months^†

The minimum spending requirement is much lower than its World Elite counterpart, and the annual fee is also less, at only $39 per year.^†

With a lower annual fee, the earning rates on the card are also reduced, outlined as follows:

• Earn 1.5 WestJet points per dollar spent on eligible WestJet flights, WestJet Vacations, and Sunwing Vacations^†
• Earn 1.5 WestJet points per $1 spent at restaurants, on food delivery, digital subscriptions, streaming services, and digital games^†
• Earn 1 WestJet point per dollar spent on all other eligible purchases^†

Fortunately, you’ll also enjoy an annual WestJet companion voucher on this card after spending $2,500 annually;^† however, it’s important to note that it comes with more restrictions than its World Elite counterpart.

The annual companion voucher on the WestJet RBC^® Mastercard is valid for travel anywhere in Canada or the continental United States (excluding Hawaii) starting from a $199 base fare. Note that the companion voucher on the WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ can also be used for flights to Hawaii, Mexico, and the rest of WestJet’s network.

If you don’t need a companion voucher, you can instead exchange the voucher for either a 25% flight discount for one traveller or 5,000 WestJet points.^†

As a lower-tier card, the insurance coverage is less comprehensive; however, you’ll still enjoy the following coverage:^†

• Auto rental damage and theft insurance for MSRPs of up to $65,000, which can help you save on the insurance fees that rental companies impose^†
• Hotel burglary insurance of up to $2,500 in total^†
• Travel accident insurance of up to $500,000 against accidental death or dismemberment^†
• Mobile device insurance of up to $1,500 in the event your mobile device is lost, stolen, suffers accidental damage or experiences mechanical failure^†
• Extended warranty that doubles the original manufacturer’s warranty for up to one year^†
• Coverage against accidental loss or damage of personal property for up to 90 days from the date of purchase^†

The WestJet RBC^® Mastercard has no minimum income requirement.

Conclusion

RBC® is running elevated offers on both WestJet cards right now, and they both end on February 4, 2026. If you can meet the higher spend and income requirements, the WestJet RBC^® World Elite Mastercardǂ is the stronger play, with up to 70,000 WestJet points, better companion voucher flexibility, and Status Lift.

If you prefer a lower annual fee and no income requirement, the WestJet RBC^® Mastercard still gets you up to 15,000 WestJet points and the new, more flexible companion voucher.

Either way, if you fly WestJet even occasionally, it’s worth applying before February 4, 2026 so you don’t miss the bonus.^†
