Nice!
More info.
Takes 6 business days to get card, then you have to make one transaction to activate buddy pass voucher, takes 3-4 weeks to get voucher.
This is a huge savings for some trips like Hawaii or World trips.
My trip to Paris is $1241/person return.
Saves me $1684 just in flights. Seems worth it.
nice, if the voucher works well for your travel then it is definitely worth it.
thanks for reminding about the travel insurance.
I'm deciding between the Westjet RBC and TD First Class, here's a comparison between the 2 that I keep on my phone so that I can easily check what I'm covered with.
Neither are the best but I like TD as it colelcts points that you can use on Expedia

By using 1 companion voucher there is no way you are saving $1684. The companion voucher only covers the fare and you still have to pay the full taxes. If two tickets to Paris cost $2400 then when you use the voucher you will still be paying about $1800 for those two tickets.
The companion voucher isn't that great and to get the most value out of it you would want to use it on a NA flight.

This. It's not nearly as good of a deal as it seems. The way to get value out of those vouchers is flying during holiday season within Canada / NA (excluding Hawaii) when ticket prices are massively inflated.
Last time I flew to Europe, the taxes & fees on a ~$1000 flight were over half the fare.
Card seems like a no brainer if you use WestJet at all. I'm about to start flying to Ontario return twice a month, so I'll be getting this card right away. It doesn't take long to get upgraded status from what I'm told, so you'll get free lounge passes and things like that, which is great for layover flights.
Sorry, didn’t realize its just on the flight.
$387x2 $774 in savings.
Plus 4 free check-in bags $141.60
If you use the example I posted then you would be paying $3530 for 4 tickets (using 2 companion vouchers) compared to $4664 before using the vouchers. Savings of $1134.
I have this card as well just for the waived baggage fees and it makes it worth it if you use Westjet twice a year.
I'm just referring to the screen shot I posted which shows the actual saving using a companion voucher. I just multiplied that savings by two if you were to book 2 separate flights using two vouchers. I realized you probably can't see the breakdown on that screen shot. Here is a better view hopefully. I really don't know how they calculate this and the only way to figure it out seems to be once you have the voucher in your account and just testing some bookings.

Isn't Rogers still best for any kind of foreign currency trip anyways? No fee's and 4% cashback.
