The MoneySense credit card
ranking examines more than 200 credit cards based on consumer goals and
spending patterns. Overall value is determined based on sign-up bonuses, fees
and added perks specific to the travel category to determine how far your
travel card will take you over a five year period.
"WestJet has worked
diligently to create a rewards program that aligns directly with our
award-winning guest experience," said Bob Cummings, WestJet's Executive
Vice-President, Sales, Marketing and Guest Experience. "From the beginning
we have taken great care in developing a transparent and simple rewards program
and the WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard worked very well with our concept.
Receiving the number-one ranking in the travel credit card category from
MoneySense tells us that we have provided the public with the kind of service,
experience and value they have come to expect from WestJet, RBC and
MasterCard."
The number-one-ranked
WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard allows cardholders to earn WestJet dollars
for every purchase made. WestJet dollars act as cash and can be redeemed in any
amount, to anywhere WestJet flies, at any time. The card also offers a welcome
bonus of $250 WestJet dollars and a yearly companion flight for $99, plus
applicable taxes, fees and charges.
"There is tremendous
choice in the marketplace and the top ranking by MoneySense speaks to how hard we worked with WestJet to
provide Canadians with a travel rewards card that is easy and simple to earn
and redeem your WestJet dollars," said Linda Mantia, Executive
Vice-President, Cards and Payment Solutions, RBC. "The WestJet RBC World
Elite MasterCard provides choice, flexibility and convenience on where, when
and how you want to travel with WestJet, while also giving you the added value
of an annual opportunity to save on a big trip with our companion offer."
For a limited time,
cardholders of the WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard and the WestJet RBC
MasterCard have even more reasons to celebrate with an exclusive opportunity to
earn double WestJet dollars in return for using their card to buy WestJet
flights or vacation packages this fall. Cardholders could earn up to 6.5 per
cent back in WestJet dollars when travelling with WestJet and using their card
between now and December 15, 2013.
