Membership card?

it's kind of ironic that Westjet for the status match wants a picture of our elite cards with other airlines but.. doesn't have their own.

I don't think that was it. Myself, I would have no use for the card and would not want to carry it. Your BP says Gold on it, or if you're like me and use Passbook, your electronic boarding pass even has a bar on it colored gold that says gold member.

Got it in the mail today! It came in a nicely packaged "Westjet Care Package".

In it was a letter, 2 baggage tags, and 4 Plus vouchers.

Unfortunately, the Plus vouchers expire January 31, 2016, so will have to use them pretty quickly!

How do the Plus vouchers work? Can they be combined with today's 25% discount code?

Wow, that is incredibly quick. It's a nice gesture, but that deadline really kills it. Oh well.

Do you think one will get those Plus Vouchers every year as status benefit?

Can you post a small picture of the package and the tags please, curiosity is a bad habit I know but I can't wait to get mine

Agreed, I have a few short flights with them before then but my transcon flights aren't until February so a little disappointing.

Can't really complain when it's free though.

From the T&Cs, it sounds like it's a one-time thing depending on when Gold was initially achieved.

Sure, when I have a chance today, I'll take a few pictures.

From the terms and conditions for the upgrade voucher:
Voucher must be presented to a customer service agent at the airport departure gate a minimum of 40 minutes prior to departure.
How far in advance of departure time does WestJet typically have a CSA at the gate?

(I'm assuming it's "first in, first upgraded" ... so one would want to request their gate upgrade at the earliest possible moment.)

Darn it! I am flying to LAS tomorrow and was hoping to use the vouchers then, but they have not arrived yet in my mailbox! Shoot. I wonder if I spoke to an agent at check in whether some voucher numbers would be attached to my WestJet ID? Or, wondering if they may give me a complimentary upgrade. I shall ask tomorrow. Unless WESTJET you are online here still? Darren? Darren? :-)

Thank you for the pictures, what a pity to not include a gold card with the tags, but it's better than nothing
