Learn more at westjet.com/newrewards.

Effective January 1, 2025, we’re making changes to the qualifying spend thresholds for each tier:  2018-2024Silver$3,000Gold$5,000Platinum$8,000 2025Silver$4,000Gold$6,000Platinum$10,000

Our tier qualifying thresholds have remained steady since 2018, marking six years since we’ve changed how WestJet Rewards members qualify for the benefits offered at each level. As a transparent spend-based program, it is necessary for us to conduct annual reviews of these thresholds to ensure we can consistently deliver priority services and benefits. 

If you achieve Silver, Gold or Platinum during the 2024 qualifying year (January 1 – December 31), you will continue to enjoy the benefits you earned at the previous spend levels for the entirety of 2025. 

The ability to retain your status and benefits in future years will be based on your tier qualifying spend for the 2025 qualifying year (and each year following), according to the new qualification levels.

With the continued growth of our airline and WestJet Rewards, we need to adjust our boarding zones to enable a smoother boarding experience for all guests, while continuing to deliver a priority boarding experience that reflects the benefit of being a top-tier member.   2024Zone 1Platinum and Gold members; Business and Premium Zone 2Silver members and up to 14 rows at the back of select aircraft; Extended Comfort Zone 3+Remaining guests   2025Zone 1Platinum members; Business and Premium Zone 2Gold and Silver members; Extended Comfort Zone 3+Remaining guests  

Effective January 15, 2025: 

• Zone 1 will be reserved exclusively for Platinum members and guests travelling in Premium and Business cabins. 
• Zone 2 will be reserved for Gold* and Silver members alongside guests who purchased Extended Comfort. 

Additionally, we have removed several rows from the Zone 2 boarding call, with guests seated in those rows now boarding in Zones 3 through 9. This will help to rebalance the distribution across Zone 1 and 2 by reducing the total number of guests in our dedicated priority boarding queues. 

*Delta Gold Medallion^® members will also move to Zone 2 priority boarding.

Top-tier members will continue to be eligible for complimentary upgrades prior to check-in and at the gate, subject to availability and the purchase of eligible fares.

• A Platinum, Gold or Silver member, plus one other guest on the same booking (i.e. single or two-guest reservations only) 
• Member Exclusive (Economy) fares for Platinum members on upgrades to Premium or Extended Comfort

* WestJet Rewards program terms and conditions

^. Effective April 30, 2025, primary cardholders on a WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard and/or WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business credit card account (“Eligible Cardholder(s)”) will have access to an improved version of “Status Lift”, an annual benefit to help Eligible Cardholders achieve the Silver, Gold or Platinum status faster each year, by providing them a supplemental method to earn tier qualifying spend.

Eligible Cardholders will earn the equivalent of 200 CAD in tier qualifying spend for every $5,000 in Eligible Purchases (as defined below) (“Status Lift”) charged to their WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard and/or WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard for Business credit card account (each, an “Eligible RBC World Elite Account”) during a Qualifying Year (as defined below). Status Lift(s) will be added to their other tier qualifying spend and count towards reaching their next WestJet Rewards tier. If an Eligible Cardholder has two (2) Eligible RBC World Elite Accounts, the Eligible Purchases (as defined below) made with both accounts will be combined towards reaching the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases.

Applicable to existing Eligible Cardholders prior to April 30, 2025: Eligible Purchases (as defined below) that appear on January, February, March and April 2025 monthly statements of an Eligible Cardholder will count towards the new Status Lift qualifying spend of $5,000 in Eligible Purchases and any additional Lift(s) will be credited by WestJet to their WestJet Rewards account in May 2025.

 “Eligible Purchases” means the total of net purchase transactions, made by all cardholders on the Eligible RBC World Elite Account, that appear on the Eligible RBC World Elite Account monthly statements prepared during a Qualifying Year (as defined below), minus returns, other credits, fees, interest charges, and cash advances (such as balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges set up with a merchant).

“Qualifying Year” means January 1 to December 31 of each calendar year.  For new Eligible RBC World Elite Accounts, it means the period between the first Eligible RBC World Elite Account monthly statement date, and December 31.

A Status Lift may be awarded up to fifty (50) times per Qualifying Year, which is equivalent to 10,000 CAD in tier qualifying spend. A Status Lift will be awarded approximately ten (10) business days after the monthly statement date for which the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases is reached.

For each Qualifying Year, Status Lifts are awarded based on the total Eligible Purchases posted to an Eligible RBC World Elite Account(s) until the December monthly statement date (that is the date the statement is prepared). This means that some purchases made in December may not count towards the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases for that Qualifying Year.  For example, if monthly statements are prepared on the 27th day of each month and a purchase is made on December 28, the transaction will be posted to the January monthly statement and will not count towards the $5,000 in Eligible Purchases for the current Qualifying Year. Status Lift(s) and Eligible Purchases will reset to zero (0) at the start of each Qualifying Year.

For an Eligible Cardholder to earn a Status Lift, their Eligible RBC World Elite Account must be open and in good standing at the time the Status Lift is awarded. If an Eligible RBC World Elite Account is closed before the end of a Qualifying Year, WestJet reserves the right to remove any Status Lift(s) and/or tier upgrade(s) the Eligible Cardholder may have received through this benefit. 

Tier qualifying spend earned through Status Lift have no monetary or other exchange value and cannot be sold or transferred. 

WestJet and Royal Bank of Canada reserve the right to change or withdraw the Status Lift benefit at any time.
