Too date, I have used the credit card to make airline and personal purchases without any difficulty. Merchants have accepted the card without any problem
Lisette Turcotte April 27, 2016
I just received the card, I waited a month for my voucher and WestJet dollars to be into my account. When the date came they had given my voucher and WestJet money to another account. Had to phone them and they fixed it within two days. Overall all is good.

Applying for the RBC WestJet Mastercard was quick and easy. The card was delivered to my local RBC branch within a couple weeks and activation was quick and easy also. I am looking forward to collecting WestJet dollars.

This credit card has any valuable features for today’s travellers and shoppers. The Companion feature is a real bonus and attraction for me!
Kyle Lethbridge December 24, 2017
The fact that you get free checked baggage on west jet flights is enough for this card alone. That’s $25 each way for each person. One round trip with my fiancé and I basically paid for the card right off the bat. And it’s not the type where the flight even needs to be booked with the card. This was a flight I had booked before I even had the card, and the free checked bag was still honoured. I haven’t even talked about the companion voucher either. This card had great features!

So far so good
