I also have the Westjet Elite Card and have learned a couple of things
- Your annual companion fare is issued to you on the anniversary date of your card. The companion fare gets issued to you after your annual fee has been charged to your card. There can be up to a 4 week wait for the companion fare to show up in your account as RBC has to issue a clearance to Westjet. This was a bit of a surprise to me as I thought it would be every calendar year.
- You can use your companion fare on Plus fares and it stays the same rate ($99 plus airport taxes, or $199+, or $299+ depending on where you are flying). This is a nice benefit if you choose to fly Plus fares.
- You can now book online using your Westjet dollars and companion fare, did it last weekend for our Aug 2018 trip. Also where I learned about the other two points. We do the same things as others have mentioned, two separate accounts to take advantage of the companion fare piece. Makes the cost of the trips for a family of four about 50%.
