WestJet "Passenger Perks" - Ho to get an AirMiles Gold Card???

It's supposed that AirMiles does not more give airmiles gold card... is it true? If yes, is it temporaly?

One time when I was on the phone with them, I asked about the gold card and they said they don't do it anymore.

They don't give a gold card anymore, but they still have Gold Status. Just shop at 5 or more sponsors and earn 1000 Air Miles in a year. Pretty easy.

An AM's rep. I met once confirmed to me they quit sending out the gold cards years ago because of the increasing costs involved. He laughed when I showed him my oldie goldie and told me to keep it as a collectors item. Given the shape it's in, however, it isn't going to appear on the Antiques Roadshow quite yet. :p
