*WestJet Rewards program terms and conditions
1. Earn (i) 1.5 WestJet points per $1 spent on eligible WestJet flights, WestJet Vacations packages and Sunwing Vacations packages (“Eligible Travel”), and (ii) 1 WestJet point per $1 spent on all other purchases when you pay with your WestJet RBC Mastercard. The additional 0.5 WestJet point you earn per $1 spent on Eligible Travel (a) is in addition to the 1 WestJet point per $1 you earn on all other purchases and is calculated separately, and (b) will only be awarded if WestJet, WestJet Vacations or Sunwing Vacations appears as the merchant on your monthly credit card statement. This means that if you purchase Eligible Travel from a travel agency or a third-party booking site, you may not be eligible for the additional 0.5 WestJet point per $1, and in no event will Royal Bank of Canada be liable or responsible for any claims should this happen. WestJet points are earned on net purchases only; they are not earned on 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 or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the WestJet points earned by the amounts originally charged.
2. Earn (i) 1.5 WestJet points per $1 spent on eligible purchases in the following categories: Restaurants, Food Delivery Services, Digital Subscriptions, Streaming Services and Digital Games (“Eligible Purchases”) made from merchants that are classified by the following eligible Mastercard’s Merchant Category Codes (“Eligible MCCs”), and (ii) 1 WestJet point per $1 spent on other everyday purchases when you pay with your WestJet RBC Mastercard.
Eligible MCCs:
Restaurants and Food Delivery Services MCCs:
- 5812 Restaurants and eating places
- 5813 Bars, cocktail lounges, and nightclubs
- 5814 Fast food restaurants
Digital Subscriptions, Streaming Services and Digital Games MCCs:
- 5815 Digital Goods Media - Books, Movies, Music
- 5816 Digital Goods – Games
- 5817 Digital Goods - Applications (Excludes Games)
- 5818 Digital Goods - Large Digital Goods Merchants
- 4899 Cable, Satellite, and Other Pay Television/Radio/Streaming Services
The additional 0.5 WestJet point you earn per $1 spent on Eligible Purchases (i) is in addition to the 1 WestJet point per $1 you earn on all other purchases and are calculated separately, and (ii) will only be awarded on Eligible Purchases made from merchants that are classified by an Eligible MCC.
As an example, this means that even though a merchant may sell streaming services and/or digital games, a purchase made at this merchant may not necessarily qualify for the additional 0.5 WestJet point per $1 if the merchant is not classified by an Eligible MCC. Also, a merchant that is not classified by an Eligible MCC may be located on the premises of another vendor that is classified by an Eligible MCC, and Eligible Purchases made from this merchant may not qualify for the additional 0.5 WestJet points per $1.
Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) cannot guarantee whether a merchant is classified by an Eligible MCC and in no event will Royal Bank be liable or responsible for any claims with respect to Eligible Purchases made from a merchant that is not classified by an Eligible MCC. WestJet points are earned on net purchases only; they are not earned on 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 or fees, and credits for returns and adjustments will reduce or cancel the WestJet points earned by the amounts originally charged. Royal Bank and WestJet reserve the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this benefit at any time.

If the Minimum Annual Spend is met in a given Voucher Earn Year, the Annual Credit Card Companion Voucher will be awarded 4-6 weeks after the WestJet RBC Mastercard annual fee for that year is charged.

7. To benefit from this offer and receive 5,000 welcome WestJet points upon your first purchase (“Welcome WestJet Points”), your application must be approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”). This offer only applies to new applications for a WestJet RBC Mastercard.
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 5,000 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.
