So they allow you to have two Mastercards under the same household/address?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So two buddy passes per year?
Yes, but you both have to pay the full annual fee (totally worth it) rather than the discounted additional card fee.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Then you BOTH get the full benefits of card ownership.

Nice!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Last time I flew to Europe, the taxes & fees on a ~$1000 flight were over half the fare.

So if my wife books and uses her companion pass on our daughter its $399 plus tax correct?
And if I use my companion pass on my son its $399 plus tax.
Or am I missing something?
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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
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.
The cashback or WJ dollar accumulation probably only applies to pre tax dollars you spend.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
don't think so. credit card issuers don't get sku/basket level info so they would not know how much was tax or non tax of the billed amount.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteI assume that is meant to say WJ dollars accumulated are only redeemable for the fare portion not taxes, as mentioned a few times above.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not sure how you got that savings? My daughter is 21 my son is 9This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Adult base fare x3 = $2358.00 -$399
CHild base fare x1 = $786 - $399
Four free check-in luggage. $35.40x4

re-read adam c's comment again.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
he mentions he spends thousands a month on the card and doesn't think he is getting the full 1.5% in WJ dollars earned. you earn 2% for WJ flights, so don't think this is related to redeeming them.
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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Where do you plug that info in? Is that on WestJets website?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I don’t see anything for voucher info.

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